The masterminds behind Slingsby Gin have launched one of the UK’s first rosé vodkas and it's already a hit amongst Leeds locals.
A delicious new drink inspired by the delicate fruity flavours of a Provence rosé wine, was officially unveiled at Issho rooftop bar last week, and it's safe to say it went down a storm.
Crafted using quality ingredients and infused with a mixture of flavours including raspberry, white peach, and pink grapefruit, Rozél serves up ‘sunny day brunching’ vibes as we step into summer and (hopefully) the warmer weather.
Just in time for National Rosé day this Saturday 10 June 2023, Rozél received a great reception from the crowd at it's launch party where they were served vodka based cocktails.

Rozél selected Leeds as its hero city and the perfect place to launch its new tipple due to the results of a recent survey proving the lively Yorkshire city to be the UK's pink drink-loving capital.
With 57% of residents saying they would select a pink drink over any other colour, Leeds was the only choice to introduce this delicious new drink.
"We are delighted to introduce Rozél Rosé Vodka” said Clare Gibson, Marketing Director at ICB Ltd, producers of Rozél.
"Our goal was to create a vodka that embodies the rosé lifestyle – a chic, fun and sociable brand with both style and elegant flavour.

‘’Our launch party was a runaway success, and the feedback on Rozél and the signature cocktails served throughout the evening was phenomenal. We’re confident it will become a firm favourite amongst vodka fans and wine lovers alike this summer.’’
Rozél is now available from Amazon and Ocado now for £26 a bottle. To find out more about the brand, visit their social media page.
