This refreshing summer drink transforms dry rosé wine into a slushy, icy treat with the addition of fresh fruit, sweetener, and a splash of lemon juice.

Equipment
- Sharp knife and Cutting Board
- Blender
- Freezer-safe dish
- Measuring Spoons and Cups
- Spatula or spoon
Ingredients
- 750 ml dry rosé wine pick a fruity, not too sweet variety
- 1 cup fresh strawberries or raspberries hulled and cut into chunks if large
- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cups ice cubes preferably crushed or small cubes
- Optional fresh herbs (mint or basil) for garnish
Instructions
- Pour the entire bottle of rosé into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir gently with a spatula to prevent large ice crystals from forming. Continue until the wine is semi-frozen and scoopable, about 4 hours.
- Prepare your fruit by hulking and chopping it into small pieces to make blending easier and more even in texture.
- Transfer the semi-frozen rosé into a blender, add the fresh fruit, honey or simple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and icy, about 30-40 seconds.
- If the mixture is too thick to blend smoothly, add a splash of cold water or a little more rosé to loosen it. Conversely, if it’s too runny, freeze it for 10-minute intervals, blending in between, until it reaches a slushy consistency.
- Check the texture: it should be thick enough to hold a spoon’s shape but still smooth. If needed, add more ice and blend again for a few seconds.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with fresh herbs or a fruit slice for a pretty presentation. Enjoy the icy, fruity refreshment!
Notes
For best results, use good-quality, cold ingredients and adjust sweetness to your preference. You can also experiment with different fruits or add a splash of orange liqueur for extra flavor.
