Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh watermelon, cut into cubes (seedless preferred)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry or semi-dry rosé wine, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons sugar or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Optional Variations

  • Fresh mint or basil leaves for garnish or blending (herbal twist)
  • Slice of jalapeño or dash of cayenne pepper (spicy kick)
  • Stevia or another natural sweetener (lower sugar option)
  • Sparkling water or rosé-flavored sparkling juice (alcohol-free version)
  • Frozen strawberries or peaches mixed with watermelon (fruit blend)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Start with seedless watermelon slices or cubes. Blend them until smooth to extract the freshest, sweetest juice possible. Strain if you prefer a silky texture free of pulp.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the pureed watermelon, chilled rosé wine, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and ice cubes. Blend everything together until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Give your Watermelon Frosé a quick taste test. Adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more sugar or lemon juice if needed. Blend again briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour your Watermelon Frosé into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint, a thin watermelon wedge on the rim, or edible flowers for a dazzling summertime treat.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients: Chill rosé and watermelon cubes beforehand for a colder, frothier drink.
  • Don’t skip the ice: It provides the essential frozen texture that makes frosé special.
  • Blend in stages: Start blending watermelon and rosé first, then gradually add sugar and lemon juice to fine-tune flavor.
  • Prepare watermelon in bulk: Freeze watermelon cubes in advance for faster blending and better texture.
  • Choose a quality rosé: Pick a dry or semi-dry rosé you enjoy drinking on its own for best results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer; reblend briefly before serving to restore texture.
  • For longer storage, freeze the mixture in ice cube trays and blend as needed to maintain freshness.
  • Reheating is not recommended; let frozen frosé sit at room temperature a few minutes before blending if too hard.
