Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) dry rosé wine
- 3 cups diced watermelon, seeds removed (about ½ medium watermelon)
- 1 ½ to 2 cups (350–475 ml) ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) simple syrup or honey
- A pinch of sea salt
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Dice about 3 cups (½ medium watermelon) into chunks and remove all seeds. Place chunks in blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Puree watermelon chunks on high speed for 1-2 minutes until silky smooth with no chunks.
- Freeze the Puree: Pour blended watermelon into a shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze at least 2 hours until partially frozen but scoopable, stirring once or twice to break up ice crystals.
- Mix the Slushie: Scoop partially frozen watermelon into blender. Add 1 ½ cups chilled rosé, 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, a pinch of sea salt, and 1 ½ to 2 cups ice cubes.
- Blend and Serve: Blend on high until smooth and slushy. Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill rosé before blending to avoid watery texture. Adjust ice and rosé amounts to achieve desired slush consistency. Freeze watermelon puree separately for smooth texture. Serve immediately for best icy texture. For non-alcoholic version, substitute rosé with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
