In the holiday cocktail guide The Best Zero Proof And Alcoholic Holiday Cocktails published by Forbes on November 17, 2025, wine and spirits contributor Katie Kelly Bell features the Rosa Regale Peppermintini as a holiday classic with lilting effervescence to keep it playful and pretty among this season’s best festive cocktail offerings. Bell, who has been covering wine, spirits, food, and travel for Forbes since 2012 and holds a Wine and Spirits Education Trust Intermediate Certificate, provides a tested recipe combining 2 ounces of Rosa Regale Sparkling Red with 1 ounce vanilla vodka and 1 ounce peppermint schnapps, shaken with ice and strained into a crushed candy cane-rimmed glass before being topped with the sparkling wine and garnished with a peppermint stick. The article positions the Rosa Regale Peppermintini among a curated collection of both alcoholic and zero-proof holiday cocktails ranging from wintery margaritas to blood orange eggnogs and non-alcoholic espresso martinis, emphasizing that each recipe has been tested for ease of preparation and drinkability with some requiring a bit of legwork on syrups but delivering from-scratch taste worth the extra time. Bell recommends stocking up on essential ingredients including sparkling wine like Prosecco as an affordable option when making cocktails, along with tequila, bourbon, vodka, and garnishes such as peppermint sticks, cinnamon sticks, and fresh orange peel to create beverages that will look as beautiful as they taste throughout the holiday cocktail season.
