Strawberry Basil Bramble with Grinder’s Switch Winery Cou Rouge Strawberry Wine

A Fresh Twist on Summer – The Strawberry Basil Bramble

There’s nothing like a cold, refreshing cocktail to take the edge off a hot summer day — and our Strawberry Basil Bramble does exactly that.

Made with our Cou Rouge, a vibrant and fruity strawberry wine, this cocktail is the perfect balance of sweet, herbaceous, and refreshing. Fresh basil adds a crisp, garden-fresh twist that elevates the natural strawberry flavor without overpowering it.

The result? A light, flavorful drink that’s easy to sip and hard to forget.

Whether you’re hosting friends on the patio, relaxing after a long day, or just looking for a new way to enjoy our Cou Rouge, the Strawberry Basil Bramble is sure to become your new go-to.
