Summery Lambrusco Cocktails
Instead of reaching for rosé this season, why not opt for Lambrusco? Full-bodied and fizzy, it’s perfect for an aperitivo and for cocktails that pair well with summery fare, like grilled meats. The rich, berry-red sparkler can lend depth and effervescence to cocktails, from a brunchy spritz to a crowd-pleasing punch.
