Watermelon Mint Frosé

Watermelon Mint Frosé

Serves: 8-10

Active: 20 minutes

Non-Active Time: 5 ½ hours

This summer, enjoy a twist on this classic: a refreshing watermelon and mint frosé, perfect for sipping poolside.

Ingredients:

1 bottle Rose'

¼ cup sugar

¼ cup water

5 mint leaves (plus a few extra for garnish)

5 cups watermelon purée (about ½ of a small, seedless watermelon)

Juice of 1 lime 

Instructions:

Pour rose' into ice cube trays, and freeze for 6 hours, or overnight.

Add sugar, water and mint to a small pot over low heat, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally just until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool & steep for 30 minutes before removing the mint leaves. 

Combine watermelon, lime and simple syrup in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for 6 hours or overnight. 

Combine both rose' & watermelon ice cubes in a blender and puree until smooth & slushy. This will blend easier if the cubes are slightly thawed / runny. 

Garnish with a mint leaf and / or a slice of watermelon on the rim of each glass.

Test Kitchen Tip: For “fast freezing”, pour rose' & watermelon onto separate baking trays and set in the freezer for 3 hours.
