Rose colored wine cocktail

Question

I have no experience in making wine cocktails and I would like a recommendation of a "rose" colored wine cocktail.

The wine cocktail I am looking for should be as close as possible to the color rose as possible. The color pink is generally much lighter in color than that of rose.

Rose is the color halfway between red and magenta.

Pink is a pale red color which takes its name from the flower of the same name.

If possible could answers include why one is making their recommendations, a recipe for usage and an image of the suggested wine cocktail or wine cocktails (if possible).

Answer 1

I do love a wine spritzer and cocktails, as you can take a fabulous wine, white or red, add splashes of other liquid(s) for a light and refreshing drink. I also love your questions, and would like to be your neighbor, invited over for drinks (I'll bring the hors d'oeuvres).

So, for your glorious rose-colored beverages, along with rosy images!
