Now, a word about the name of this fabulous frozen rose cocktail.
Southern women know a thing or two about heat, humidity, and the reality of under-boob sweat. It’s a fact of life. It’s only fitting then, that they came up with this hilarious phrase to describe one of the dire consequences of a hot or tropical climate. In fact, if you know southern women at all, you know that they have a delightful way of manipulating the English language seamlessly, with sweetness & light on one end of the spectrum, and a razor-sharp insult on the other. This often leaves the recipient unsure if they’ve been charmingly complimented or utterly slammed.

Take the phrase, “Well, bless your heart! ,” for example. This seemingly innocent statement can mean everything from, “aren’t you sweet,” to “go f*ck yourself,” depending on the tone, inflection, and the look on the face of the woman delivering it. So it’s not surprising that southern women have their own unique term for boob sweat – probably created to lighten up an otherwise cringe-worthy phrase, and dilute the nastiness of its exact meaning.
With that in mind, I give you Southern Humidititties – a sweet, tart, frozen wine concoction that aims to cool you down while lighting you up. This easy Frosé recipe is delicious and does its job well, so you won’t feel boob sweat. Or you will, but you really won’t care!
(For added fabulosity, see the optional Tittie Twister frozen cocktail following the recipe.)
