Description
This watermelon frosé recipe is the ultimate summer wine cocktail made with frozen watermelon, raspberries, and crisp rosé wine blended into a refreshing frozen slushie. Light, fruity, and perfect for warm weather entertaining, this easy frosé recipe comes together with just a handful of ingredients.
Ingredients
5 cups (500-600 g) seedless watermelon, cut into cubes and frozen
2 cup (300 g) frozen raspberries (frozen strawberries also work well)
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp / 30 ml)
1-2 tbsp honey, optional
2 - 3 cups (500 - 750 ml) fruity Rosé wine
Extra watermelon cubes or raspberries, for garnish
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into cubes and freeze them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add the frozen watermelon cubes, frozen raspberries, lemon juice, and about 2 cups of Rosé wine to a blender.
Blend until smooth and slushy.
Chef’s Tip: For the best texture, use very cold Rosé wine and fully frozen fruit.
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more Rosé wine. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen watermelon cubes and blend again.
Pour the Frosé into glasses and garnish with extra fruit and fresh mint.
Serve immediately.
Chef’s Tip: Choose a dry fruity rosé (like Grenache or Provence-style rosé) to complement the sweetness of the watermelon.
