Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry rosé wine
- 4 cups fresh watermelon chunks, seeded
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (as needed for freezing and blending)
Instructions
- Prepare and Freeze the Rosé: Pour the dry rosé wine into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight to create frozen rosé cubes that ensure a perfect icy texture without diluting the cocktail.
- Blend the Fresh Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into chunks, remove seeds if necessary, and blend until smooth. For a chunkier texture, pulse briefly to retain some pulp.
- Mix Watermelon and Frozen Rosé: Combine the blended watermelon, frozen rosé cubes, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup in a blender. Blend on high until smooth and slushy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Adjust Sweetness and Serve: Taste the Watermelon Frosé and add more simple syrup or lemon juice if needed to balance sweetness and acidity. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish as desired.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality dry rosé with fruity notes for the best flavor balance and to avoid an overly sweet drink.
- Freeze the rosé cubes fully — at least 6 hours or overnight — for optimal icy texture.
- Use ripe, sweet watermelon to reduce the need for additional sweeteners.
- If making a large batch, blend in smaller portions to maintain smooth and even consistency.
- Serve immediately for maximum frostiness and refreshment.
