Summer Water

June 10, 2016 by Joy the Baker 30 Comments

Summer Water

Summer water is different from other such seasonal beverages like Winter Water or Fall Water… or even Spring Water.  Those waters are just… water.  

Summer Water is special.  Summer Water has rosé in it because there are precious few other way to get through a summer in New Orleans or any other alarmingly hot and humid city.  Alarmingly hot… like you didn’t even know the Earth could be so hot and steamy… you didn’t even know if was possible.  So.  Summer Water. 

Summer water helps ease the discomfort of frizzy hair, back sweat, under breast sweat, razor burn, beach yearning, top of scalp sunburns, heat fatigue, deep laziness, city smells, and general questions about the meaning of life and particularly why life is sometimes so very hot.

Here’s how to make Summer Water.

•  Add ice to a glass.

•  Fill the glass half full with rosé wine.  Any sort you like.  

•  Add an orange wedge and cucumber slices.

•  Top with sparkling water.

•  Sit and enjoy.  

•  Repeat.  Add a pool if possible.  

Find all of your Summer Rosé accessories here.  Cheers y’all! 

(This post and recipe is 100% tongue-in-cheek and 100% very serious.  We’re operating at 200%.  This post is dedicated to Jessi S, killin’ the game in Kansas City.)

    Used a white wine because that was what was available…and crushed some strawberries in there. So very refreshing.

    Next one I used watermelon. So hooked on this. I am sharing with all my friends too!!! Making summer bearable. Thank you.

    Oh my, this is going into rotation soon! I hear your pain about frizzy hair, back sweat, etc. I live in the steamy jungle of SE Asia & this will be forever known as “all year” water!

    As someone currently suffering from both sunburn AND deep laziness, I appreciate this. TGIF!

    It gets hot here too…blazing dry heat…but we don’t add sparkling water to anything as we are swimming in lovely rose here. The Okanagan in Canada is a wine Mecca and as the saying here goes…Lips that touch wine will always touch mine…might add the other lovely ingredients and even ice though!
