A simple and refreshing summer cocktail made by blending frozen watermelon cubes with chilled rosé, lemon juice, and a touch of sweetness for the perfect icy, boozy sip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes and frozen
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) chilled dry rosé wine (e.g., Whispering Angel)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 23 tablespoons simple syrup or granulated sugar (to taste)
  • A handful of ice cubes
  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Watermelon wedge (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Freeze the watermelon cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid.
  2. Prepare simple syrup (optional): Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan, heat until sugar dissolves, then cool.
  3. Chill the rosé wine in the fridge for several hours or in the freezer for 30 minutes before blending.
  4. In a high-speed blender, combine frozen watermelon cubes, chilled rosé, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup or sugar, and ice cubes.
  5. Pulse on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy. Adjust consistency by adding more rosé if too thick or more frozen watermelon/ice if too thin.
  6. Taste and adjust lemon juice or sweetness as needed.
  7. Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves or a small watermelon wedge.

Notes

Freeze watermelon cubes ahead of time for best texture. Pulse blend in short bursts to avoid melting ice and watery slush. Use cold rosé to maintain icy consistency. Adjust sweetness and lemon juice to taste. Garnish with fresh mint or watermelon wedge for extra freshness.
