Frosecco Cocktails Are The New Summer Trend | Bubbling at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

Move over frosé - you are SO last summer. Drunken popsicles in your cocktail? Been there, done that. A new frozen treat is on the market and it's a whole lot more bubbly and fun than last year's flat libation. Introducing, the first-ever froseccó cocktails! 

Ruffino wine has partnered with 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge to create the ultimate summer sipper from June to August! These stunning, colorful and sweet drinks emulate the vibe of the season. They go for just $15 each with 2 flavors offered:  Froseccó Fiore, with hints of citrus garnished with Lavender and Elderflower, and Froseccó Frutta, made with blackberries and peaches.
