With the fashion elite counting down the days until May 1 for the return of Meryl Streep’s legendary Miranda Priestly in the The Devil Wears Prada 2, the industry is bracing for a new era of high-stakes style. While the original film famously schooled us on the complex lineage of a cerulean sweater, this vodka cocktail translates that sharp, uncompromising vision into a glass. It’s a bright, floral tribute to the meticulous standards and vibrant energy of the Runway era. Forget the stress of early morning coffee runs; this is the drink for post-event brunch. Even if the most stoic fashion icons rarely crack a smile, this refined blend of berry, elderflower, and sparkling Brut rosé is exactly what you’d find in the hands of the elite.

To ensure your cocktail maintains its structure like a well-tailored suit, make sure your sparkling wine and soda water are as cold as possible before pouring. Chilling your wine glass beforehand also helps prevent the ice from melting too quickly, keeping the flavors sharp and the bubbles tight.
Groundbreaking Spring Spritz Riff
Swap the berry-infused vodka for Pear-infused vodka. The crisp, subtle sweetness of the pear creates a beautiful dialogue with the floral elderflower, moving the profile from a red-fruit brightness to a smooth, autumnal elegance.
