Frosé

Cool down with a refreshing rosé slushie, the latest must-sip summer drink! Tip: Choose a full-flavored, full-bodied dark-colored rose for freezing, as it will lose some of its color and will be diluted after freezing and blending. Can be frozen up to 1 week ahead of time.

SERVINGS

PREP TIME

1 hr 30 min

+ 6 hr freezing time

Ingredients

  • 1
    (750 ml) bottle hearty, bold rosé (such as Pinot Noir or Merlot rosé)
  • ½
    cup sugar
  • 8
    ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 ½
    ounces fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour rosé into a 13×9 pan and freeze for at least 6 hours (it won’t completely solidify due to the alcohol).

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, bring sugar and ½ cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add strawberries, remove from heat and let sit 30 minutes to infuse syrup with strawberry flavor.

  4. 4

    Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl (do not press on solids); cover and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Scrape rosé into a blender. Add lemon juice, 3 ½ ounces strawberry syrup and 1 cup crushed ice; purée until smooth.

  6. 6

    Transfer blender jar to freezer and freeze until frosé is thickened (aim for milkshake consistency), 25-35 minutes.

  7. 7

    Blend again until frosé is slushy. Divide among glasses.
