Orange-Rosemary Wine Cooler

I have been drinking many one of these Orange-Rosemary Wine Coolers this week. I got the idea from a hotel Matt and I stayed in Seattle and I’ve been hooked ever since. There’s nothing like a rosemary and orange-flavored adult beverage filled with white wine and vodka. Perfect for summer. Perfect for a stressful day.
