We reckon that the ladies who lunch have already cottoned on to the fact that a sparkling rosé is a summer must-have that goes along with a truly chic summer ensemble. Those truly in the know, however, have been pouring the verrrry French XRated fusion liqueur. What’s not to love about this bottle that is literally gobbled up every time Nicky Feanny of Rum, Roast & Royals puts yet another case out. “A single customer bought 15 cases, ” he shares with Thursday Food.

The reasons are obvious. I mean the bottle is so stylish (trust the French) and there’s the ever-so-easy screw cork. It handles well (perhaps too well) and, according to the man married to one of Jamaica’s most fabulous women, “It’s a ready-made Cosmopolitan with the same consistency, taste and quality as Grey Goose. Women find the colour both sexy and intriguing.” This, ladies, is no idle boast (we’ve not stopped caressing the bottle). And there’s more to rave about, like the sensuous fusion of ultra premium French vodka and Provence Blood Orange mingling with mango and passion fruit. It’s a great summer gift too. Thank you, Nicky, for adding summer pink cheer.
