Equipment

1 Slushie Machine

Ingredients

2 cups watermelon juice (see notes)
1 bottle dry rosé wine (750 ml)
juice of one lime
2 tablespoons simple syrup (or your liquid sweetener of choice)

Instructions

Make Watermelon Juice: Place 4 cups of cubed watermelon in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Pour through a strainer or sieve to remove the solids. This should yield approximately 2 cups of pure watermelon juice.
Prepare: Pour the watermelon juice, rosé wine, lime juice, and syrup (or other sweetener) into a large pitcher and stir together.
Pour the ingredients into the slushie machine and close the latch. Press the power button, then select the “SPIKED SLUSH” button, or whatever your manufacturer suggests for alcoholic slush drinks, to start the process. The machine will run and be set to the proper temperature.
Wait: Allow the slushy machine to run for 20 – 30 minutes, and the mixture will freeze and become a slushie.
Serve: Once it has reached the proper temperature, you can dispense the Watermelon Frosé Slushie into your favorite glass and garnish with a watermelon wedge and a mint sprig.

Notes

How To Make Watermelon Juice:

Cut a few slices of watermelon with the rind on and reserve as a garnish.

Remove the watermelon rind and cut into cubes.
Place the watermelon cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to do this in multiple batches.
Strain into a pitcher, using a spoon to press the pulp and only extract the juice. This removes any remaining seeds or chunks.

Watermelon Rosé Slushie Serving Idea:

Rim your glass by gently wiping lime juice on the outer edge of the glass. Place sugar in a small plate and then rotate the rim of the glass on the plate. The sugar will stick to the rim of the glass. Add some fun, by adding edible flowers or dried lavender to the dish as well.
