Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups seedless, ripe watermelon cubes (frozen)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry or semi-dry rosé wine (chilled)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 12 tablespoons sugar or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes (as needed for texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds if necessary. Freeze the cubes for several hours or until completely solid to ensure the perfect icy texture.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, chilled rosé wine, freshly squeezed lime juice, and sugar or simple syrup. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
  3. Adjust Texture and Taste: If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more rosé wine or a few ice cubes and pulse again. Taste and adjust by adding more lime juice or sweetener to reach your preferred flavor balance.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the Watermelon Frosé into chilled glasses. Garnish with a fresh watermelon wedge, a mint sprig, or a thin slice of lime on the rim for an appealing presentation.

Notes

  • Use the ripest watermelon possible for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
  • Freeze watermelon cubes well in advance to achieve the ideal frosty texture.
  • Choose a high-quality dry or semi-dry rosé wine for best results.
  • Experiment with natural sweeteners like honey, agave, or coconut sugar for a unique twist.
  • Blend gently to retain some ice texture and avoid the drink becoming too liquid.
