In this quick and easy punch, rosé wine is the star. A little fresh lime juice, some muddled blackberries, and vodka are added to the wine, making this a refreshing libation for your next summer soiree.

Game plan: You’ll need to make the Simple Syrup before you begin.

  • Total: 15 mins
  • Active: 15 mins

Ingredients (7)

  • 1 pint fresh blackberries, plus 12 extra berries for garnish
  • 5 ounces Simple Syrup (see Game Plan note), chilled
  • 1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry rosé wine, chilled
  • 9 ounces vodka, chilled
  • 6 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 9 medium limes), chilled
  • Ice
  • 12 thinly sliced lime wheels, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the pint of blackberries and simple syrup in a large pitcher and muddle until the fruit is crushed and juicy but not completely pulverized, about 1 minute. Add the wine, vodka, and lime juice and stir to combine.
  2. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a punch bowl and strain the mixture into the bowl, discarding the solids. Place a large block of ice in the punch and serve in wineglasses filled with ice. Garnish each drink with a blackberry and a lime wheel.
