Frozen Rosé Slushie

This dish is a vibrant, icy beverage made by blending rosé wine with ice and optional flavor infusions such as herbs or citrus. It has a semi-smooth, slushy texture with a bright pink hue, offering a refreshingly cold and slightly granular final appearance. The process involves freezing and blending to achieve a playful, icy consistency that captures summer's spirit.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle rosé wine chilled for best results
  • 2 cups ice cubes preferably frozen in advance
  • 1 tablespoon sugar optional, adjust to taste
  • a few fresh herbs (basil or mint) herbs for infusion or garnish
  • 1 splash soda water optional, for a fizzy twist

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled rosé wine into a measuring cup or bowl for easy handling.
  2. Add the sugar to the wine and stir until fully dissolved. This helps balance the wine's natural acidity.
  3. Transfer the wine mixture into a shallow container and freeze for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
  4. Once the mixture is mostly frozen but still soft enough to scoop, break it into smaller chunks with a fork or spatula. This makes blending easier later.
  5. Place the wine chunks into a blender along with the ice cubes. Add a few herbs if you like for an aromatic touch.
  6. Blend everything until smooth and slushy, the mixture should be thick, cold, and slightly granular in texture.
  7. If desired, splash in soda water for a fizzy lift and give it a quick pulse to combine.
  8. Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness or add more herbs if needed. Serve immediately in chilled glasses for the best experience.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs or a citrus twist before enjoying.

Notes

For extra flavor, infuse the wine with herbs during the initial pour or add fruit juice for a colorful variation. Keep the blended slushie frozen until ready to serve to maintain its icy texture.
