Frank Family Vineyards is taking you on a trip from Napa Valley to Stars Hollow, just in time for your Fall rewatch. The Rory Cocktail captures the charm and sweetness of Rory Gilmore herself—delicate, playful, and effortlessly chic. Featured in Season 6, Episode 7, “Twenty-One is the Loneliest Number,” this blushing pink drink captures the elegance and whimsy of Rory’s 21st birthday celebration. Sweet yet sophisticated, it’s perfect for toasting with friends, sipping during a Gilmore marathon, or adding a little sparkle to any occasion. Because, like Rory herself, it’s equal parts grace, curiosity, and quiet confidence.
