Rosé wine with brandy or vodka, steeped with garden herbs, orange and lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla. This chilled Provençal refresher is sublime. See which herb and spirit blend won over 30 testers!

I made this delightfully refreshing vin d’orange last year, and it’s just the right moment to plan it again to enjoy this summer. Especially if you’re already thinking about which herbs to grow and use this season.

Vin d'orange is a gorgeous and refreshing wine apéritif from Provence, and it's easy and fulfilling to make yourself. It's ready in just 4 weeks of steeping. You can serve this this drink as a cool refresher in summer, a comforting citrus spiced apéritif in winter, or any time in between.

This captivating rosé sipper made our testers swoon with enticing notes of orange and lemon zest, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla beans. And see which combinations of fortification (brandy vs vodka) and fresh garden herbs (from none, to common, to less-common, to rare) won the ultimate taste test with 30 testers! 🍊🌿
