Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon, cubed and frozen
- 1 bottle rosé wine
- Juice of 1 lime
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preparing the watermelon. If you haven't done so already, cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces and spread them out on a baking sheet. Freeze the watermelon cubes for at least 2 hours or until they are completely frozen.
- Once the watermelon is frozen, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for about 5 minutes to slightly soften. This will make it easier to blend.
- In a blender, combine the frozen watermelon cubes, the entire bottle of rosé wine, and the juice of 1 lime. Make sure the blender is large enough to hold all the ingredients comfortably.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and slushy consistency. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the frosé and adjust the flavor if necessary. If you prefer it a bit more tart, you can add more lime juice. If you want it a little sweeter, consider adding a splash of a sugar-free sweetener, though this is optional since the watermelon provides natural sweetness.
- Once blended, pour the frosé into chilled glasses. This recipe should yield about 4 servings, so divide it evenly among the glasses.
- Garnish each glass with a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch and an appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your No Sugar Added Watermelon Frosé on a warm day!
Tips
- Freeze the Watermelon Ahead of Time: To ensure your frosé has the perfect slushy texture, make sure to freeze the watermelon cubes for at least 2 hours. Planning ahead will make the blending process a breeze!
- Let the Watermelon Soften Slightly: After removing the frozen watermelon from the freezer, let it sit for about 5 minutes. This softening step is crucial for easy blending and achieving that smooth consistency.
- Choose a Quality Rosé: The flavor of your frosé will largely depend on the quality of the rosé wine you use. Opt for a bottle that you enjoy drinking on its own for the best results.
- Customize Your Frosé: Don’t hesitate to adjust the lime juice to suit your taste. If you prefer a tangier drink, add more lime; for a sweeter touch, consider a splash of sugar-free sweetener.
- Chill Your Glasses: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. It keeps your frosé icy cold and enhances the overall enjoyment.
- Garnish for Appeal: Fresh mint leaves not only add a pop of color but also a delightful aroma. Don’t skip this step—it elevates your drink from simple to spectacular!
- Serve Immediately: This frosé is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it right after blending to maintain its slushy texture and vibrant flavor.
