Meet our pick for the official drink of spring, the frosé: rosé wine plus lemonade, frozen into a delightfully refreshing adult slushie.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups lemonade
- 1 bottle rosé wine (preferably Rioja)
- ¹⁄₃ cup simple syrup (see below)
- 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- Lemon peels, for garnish
Directions
A day in advance, fill standard ice cube tray with lemonade and freeze. (You’ll only need a few cubes for this recipe. Save the rest for other drinks.)
Three hours before serving, pour the rośe, simple syrup and lemon juice in a blender and purée. Place in the freezer (it should begin to freeze up a bit).
Right before serving, add 2–4 lemonade ice cubes to the rośe mixture in the blender. Blend until slushy. Pour into tall glasses. Garnish each glass with a curl of lemon. Serves 4–6.
To Make Simple Syrup
Mix 1 part sugar and 1 part water. Bring water to rolling boil and stir in sugar until it dissolves. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Refrigerated, it will keep for about 2 weeks.
