Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (750 ml) bottle dry rosé wine, chilled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Optional: 1/4 cup vodka or triple sec for extra kick
Instructions
- Make a simple syrup: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl or pitcher, mix the cooled simple syrup, chilled rosé wine, and lemon juice. If using, stir in the vodka or triple sec.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish, such as a metal baking pan. Cover and freeze for 1 hour.
- Remove the dish from the freezer. Use a fork to scrape and break up the ice crystals around the edges. Return to the freezer.
- Repeat the scraping process every 30 to 45 minutes for about 3 to 4 hours, until the mixture has a uniform, slushy consistency similar to a granita.
- To serve, scoop the frozen rosé into chilled glasses. Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or a mint sprig for an aesthetic presentation.
Notes
- For best results, use a rosé wine that you enjoy drinking on its own, as freezing concentrates the flavor.
- If you have an ice cream maker, you can churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s directions after the initial chilling period for a smoother texture.
- Prepare this recipe ahead of time; the total freezing time is significant for the best texture.
