Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) chilled dry rosé wine
- 4 cups (about 600 g) cubed and frozen seedless watermelon
- ¼ cup (60 ml) simple syrup, homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Freeze the watermelon: Cut fresh watermelon into 1-inch cubes and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Make simple syrup if needed: Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves; cool before using.
- In a high-speed blender, combine chilled rosé, frozen watermelon cubes, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and ice cubes.
- Pulse to break down ice and watermelon, then blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and slushy. Add more frozen watermelon or ice if too thin and blend again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more simple syrup or lemon juice; blend briefly to mix.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses garnished with fresh mint leaves and straws.
Notes
Use frozen watermelon cubes to avoid watery drinks. Chill rosé before blending. Adjust sweetness and tartness to taste. Blend in batches if needed to avoid overloading blender. Leftovers can be stored in freezer up to 2 days and re-blended before serving.
