My patio dining got even better this weekend with the addition of the Rose’ Royale. It’s a best-selling cocktail at Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bar in Manhattan (and why not bring Manhattan to Minneapolis)? It includes a French grapefruit liqueur–Pamplemousse which is a relatively new spirit and one I couldn’t wait to tell you about. It pairs wonderfully with rosé wine and a great starter to any cocktail party.
Go shake it up and be the most popular patio on the block.
