Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry, crisp rosé wine
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh mint leaves
- Small watermelon wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the seedless watermelon into cubes and blend until smooth to create a fresh watermelon puree, which forms the base of your Watermelon Frosé.
- Freeze the Puree: Pour the watermelon puree into a shallow container and freeze for about 3-4 hours until it is solid but still slightly slushy, ideal for blending.
- Blend with Rosé and Lemon: In a blender, combine the frozen watermelon chunks, rosé wine, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and ice cubes. Blend until the mixture is smooth and icy.
- Adjust Texture and Sweetness: If the texture is too thick, add a splash of rosé wine or water to loosen it. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup or balance tartness with extra lemon juice as needed.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the chilled mixture into glasses pre-chilled for best results. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or small watermelon wedges to enhance both aroma and presentation.
Notes
- Choose a quality, dry, and crisp rosé to elevate the flavor foundation of your cocktail.
- Freeze the watermelon puree in thin layers for even freezing and easier blending.
- Avoid overblending to maintain a perfect frozen slush texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice and ripe watermelon for optimal natural flavor and freshness.
- Chill serving glasses ahead of time to keep your Frosé cold longer.
