Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry rosé wine, chilled
- 4 cups cubed and frozen watermelon (seedless if possible)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, boiled and cooled)
- 1 to 2 cups ice cubes (optional, for extra slushiness)
- A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Freeze the watermelon cubes for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Chill the rosé wine in the refrigerator for several hours before use.
- Prepare simple syrup by boiling equal parts sugar and water until sugar dissolves; cool completely.
- In a blender, combine 4 cups frozen watermelon cubes, 1 cup (250 ml) chilled rosé, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons simple syrup. Add ice cubes if desired.
- Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until smooth but still slushy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. Add more rosé or water if too thick and blend again.
- Serve immediately in tall glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves or a small watermelon wedge.
Notes
Do not over-blend to maintain the slushy texture. Keep rosé chilled to avoid watery consistency. Prepare frozen watermelon and simple syrup ahead for quick blending. Add ice gradually if using to avoid straining the blender motor.
