watermelon frosé recipe - featured image

A quick and easy frozen rosé cocktail blending fresh watermelon, rosé wine, lemon juice, and ice for a refreshing summer drink with a smooth, slushy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled dry rosé wine (e.g., Miraval or Whispering Angel)
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and chilled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut into roughly 1-inch cubes. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour if possible.
  2. Chill the rosé wine in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
  3. If making homemade simple syrup, combine ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in a small saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cool completely before use.
  4. Add 4 cups of watermelon cubes, 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled rosé, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons simple syrup, and 2 cups ice cubes to a blender.
  5. Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy, stopping to scrape down sides if needed.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired. If too thick, add a splash of rosé or lemon juice to thin.
  7. Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves or a small watermelon wedge.

Notes

Do not overblend to avoid melting the ice and diluting the drink. Pulse and check texture often. Keep watermelon and rosé well chilled before blending. Adjust simple syrup to balance sweetness. Frozen watermelon chunks can substitute fresh watermelon; reduce ice slightly in that case. Serve immediately for best icy texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer and re-blended before serving.
