Frosted Watermelon Rosemary Frosé
I love my cocktails icy cold, so it only makes sense that the Frosted Watermelon Rosemary Frosé should become a favorite of mine!
This recipe takes a bit of planning since you have to freeze the rosé and make the popsicles ahead of time, but once that’s done, it comes together in a hot minute!
Take your favorite bottle of rosé and pour it into icecube trays (2 should do it). Freeze the rosé overnight.
Meanwhile, make the popsicles by blending watermelon chunks, lemon juice, rosemary leaves and sugar in a blender. Strain that mixture so you don’t get bits of rosemary in your drink. Pour some of the mix into popsicle molds and freeze along with the rosé.
The next day, put your frozen rosé cubes in the blender along with the leftover drink mixture, give it a whirl, adding more drink mix to get it nice and slushy.
Rim the cups with sugar, pour some frosé in, garnish with a posicle and mint and say “Hello, Summer”!
