    Haters will say it's just a whiskey sour with a splash of red wine, and they'd be right. But why hate something so delicious? Try it here.

    She's a classic. If that new rosé is way too intense for sipping, head to the freezer. Mellow things out here.

    7. Pear Chardonnay Cocktail

    A tall glass of iced chardonnay and pear cocktail, garnished with a thyme sprig
    Cupcakes and Cutlery / Via cupcakesandcutlery.com

    This one keeps things light and herbal, with no added spirits besides white wine. Make it here.

    8. Malibu Sangria

    A pitcher of tropical fruit sangria, a glass of the same, and a bottle of Malibu rum.
    The Farmwife Drinks / Via farmwifedrinks.com

    Bottle of boring sauv blanc, meet coconut rum and tropical fruit. *chef's kiss* Recipe here.

    9. Sparkling Rosé Grapefruit Margaritas

    A pale pink margarita made with grapefruit and rosé wine, garnished with grapefruit wedges and rosemary
    Quartz and Leisure / Via quartzandleisure.com

    Sometimes the rosé tastes less "light and breezy" and more "tooth decay." Cue grapefruit, tequila, and a salted rim. Pucker up here.

    10. Strawberry Wine Punch

    Remember that strawberry daiquiri mix from the freezer aisle? This punch calls for a whole can, and I love that about her. Here's the party-sized recipe.

    11. Tart Cherry Red Wine Spritzer

    A deep red cocktail of tart cherry juice and red wine, iced and garnished with a rosemary sprig
    Running to the Kitchen / Via runningtothekitchen.com

    Tart cherries and red wine are both great sources of antioxidants, meaning this cocktail is practically a health drink. Cheers! Recipe here.
