Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 bottle rosé wine chilled
• 2 cups ice cubes preferably crushed or small
• 1 tablespoon simple syrup adjust to taste

Equipment

• Blender
• Measuring cups and spoons

Method

 

1. Pour the chilled rosé wine into the blender, filling it about halfway.
2. Add the ice cubes to the blender, ensuring there’s enough to fill it roughly two-thirds full.
3. Drizzle the simple syrup over the wine and ice, which adds a touch of sweetness and helps balance the wine’s acidity.
4. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, velvety, and slightly slushy, about 30–45 seconds.
5. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash of rosé and blend again briefly.
6. Pour the cold rosé slushie into glasses, letting its icy, smooth texture flow naturally.
7. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh herbs if desired, for presentation.
8. Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon, enjoying the icy, refreshing texture.

Notes

For an extra flavor twist, add a few fresh berries before blending. Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup.

This rosé slushie is more than a drink—it’s a celebration of simplicity and spontaneity. The way the chilled wine pairs with warm summer evenings makes it a favorite in my house, especially when the sun hangs low and the air smells of jasmine and brewed coffee.
