Ingredients
Ingredients
- 750 ml dry rosé wine
- 3-4 cups watermelon, frozen
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- ½ to 1½ cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Freeze Rosé Wine: Pour the dry rosé into 2-3 ice cube trays and freeze until solid, which takes at least 6-8 hours or preferably overnight. This step is essential to ensure the wine is perfectly chilled and contributes to the slush texture.
- Freeze Watermelon Chunks: Place the watermelon chunks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and freeze them until solid. This will help maintain the chilly slush consistency when blended.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the rosé ice cubes, frozen watermelon cubes, sugar, lime juice, and ice cubes. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and slush-like consistency, ensuring all components are well incorporated.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the watermelon frosé into serving glasses. Garnish each glass with lime wedges or watermelon slices for an inviting and decorative touch. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using dry rosé wine balances the sweetness of watermelon and sugar for a refreshing taste.
- Freeze the wine and watermelon for at least 6-8 hours to get proper ice cubes suitable for blending.
- The amount of ice cubes can be adjusted depending on desired thickness.
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of mint or basil during blending if desired.
- Serve immediately after blending to prevent melting and losing the slush texture.
