Ruby on Rails Cocktail

This light and fruity cocktail was created for the Chowhound launch party by master mixologist Jacques Bezuidenhout. The sweet combination of sliced strawberries, strawberry syrup, and rosé wine is balanced by the herbal complexity of gin and Pimm’s No. 1. For another rosé cocktail, try our Black Rose cocktail recipe, with blackberries and vodka.
