A frosé is a refreshing summer drink made with rosé wine and any summer fruit of your choice. The regular frosé can be made with strawberries, raspberries, peaches, and even pineapples.
However, a watermelon frosé is exceptionally special. It is a delicious blend of wine, fresh watermelon, lime juice, and some sweetener.
The frozen slushy drink is thick, fruity, and smooth to taste. It has a pretty pink color that comes from the juicy watermelon.
The frozen rosé wine typically has fruity undertones that enhance this festive summer drink’s flavor, and you can tweak this recipe to make a virgin watermelon slushy.
You can also increase or reduce the quantity of wine for this recipe to suit your preferred alcohol quantity.
