Hand Holding Cup of Watermelon Frosé Recipe

I especially adore cocktails that involve wine, frosty cups, and summer fruits. I don't know exactly what the summer has planned for me, but I know that it is going to involve LOTS of these poolside.

Ingredients you'll need to make this

rosé wine
watermelon
lime juice
lime seltzer
watermelon vodka (optional)
fresh wedges of watermelon (for garnish)

Instructions

Start by pouring a 750 ml bottle or rosé wine evenly into 2 ice cube molds. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Wine will not freeze completely due to the alcohol content, but should be a firm-slushy texture.
Add 3 cups of cubed watermelon to a rimmed baking sheet, or freezer-friendly container, and freeze along with rosé.

Blending of Ingredients for Watermelon Frosé Recipe

Once the watermelon and rosé are frozen, add to a blender, along with 4 tablespoons of lime juice (or juice from 2 limes), ½ cup of lime seltzer, and 3 ounces of watermelon vodka if using. Blend on high until mixture is smooth and blended. If mixture is too thick, add more seltzer until it reaches desired texture. Pour evenly amongst 4 glasses, and garnish with fresh watermelon wedges if desired.

FAQs

My rosé wine isn't fully frozen. What did I do wrong?

Nothing! Due to the alcohol content, the wine won't fully freeze, but should be a firm, slushy-like texture. As long as it is more solid than liquid, you're good!

How do you make this non-alcoholic?

You can simply replace the rosé with a sparkling white grape juice, and leave out the vodka. You may need to add more seltzer since the grape juice will fully freeze.

My mixture is too thick, and won't pour. What do I do?

Simply add a splash or two more of seltzer until the mixture fully blends, and is pourable.
