Watermelon Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
Description
This Watermelon Frosé starts with freezing rosé wine to a semi-frozen slush, while watermelon chunks are also frozen to add natural sweetness and a satisfying texture. Blending these frozen ingredients with a touch of honey and fresh mint creates a smooth and chilled cocktail that balances fruitiness with floral notes from the wine.
The drink has a smooth, icy texture with the crispness of rosé and the juicy freshness of watermelon. Mint adds subtle herbal freshness which livens up the flavor profile. Served immediately, this cocktail is a cold and sweet treat suitable for summer gatherings or relaxing indoors on a warm day.
Pre-freezing the wine and watermelon for at least four hours is key to achieving the proper consistency. The frosé can also be prepared ahead and briefly thawed before blending. Adjusting honey amounts allows tailoring the sweetness. This cocktail is best served fresh to enjoy its slushy texture and fresh flavors.
Ingredients
- 750 ml rosé wine
- 3 cups watermelon seedless, cut into 1-inch cubes, chunks
- 2-3 Tbsp. honey to taste
- 2 Tbsp. mint stems removed, sweet
Instructions
- Pour the rosé wine into a freezer-safe container. Cover with a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. (Due to the alcohol content, the rosé wine will not freeze completely but instead will have a slushy consistency once fully frozen.)
- Cut watermelon into 1-inch chunks and place in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a plastic container. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Add frozen wine and melon to a large blender along with the honey and mint.
- Blend on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
- Serve immediately or freeze until ready to serve.
Notes
- Freeze rosé wine and watermelon chunks for at least 4 hours or overnight before blending.
- Optionally, freeze the fully blended drink and remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Adjust honey to taste for preferred sweetness levels.
