Most people think of rosé as a simple summer sipper, but I see it as the secret weapon for refreshing chaos.

With just a handful of ingredients and a quick freeze, you’ll create a slushie with a velvety texture and vibrant blush color. It’s perfect for spontaneous gatherings or solo moments when you need a delightful escape. Plus, the slow-melting coolness makes each sip an experience you’ll want again and again.

AVOID MY DISASTER (You’re Welcome)

Frozen Rosé Slushie
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Measure out the chilled rosé wine and pour it into your blender.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender, surrounding the liquid to help achieve a slushy consistency.
- If you prefer a sweeter slushie, pour in a tablespoon or two of simple syrup.
- Secure the lid on the blender and pulse on low speed a few times, then blend on high until the mixture is smooth, velvety, and well combined. Look for a semi-frozen, slushie texture that scoops easily.
- Stop the blender, check the texture, and scrape down the sides if needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash of rosé and blend briefly.
- Pour the frozen rosé slushie into chilled glasses, preferably pre-rinsed with ice for extra chilliness.
- Garnish with fresh berries, thin slices of citrus, or a sprig of mint for visual appeal and added aroma.
- Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon, enjoying the cool, refreshing, blush-colored treat that melts slowly on the palate.

Beyond the taste, the process inspires creativity and quick thinking in your kitchen. No complicated steps, just a refreshing moment of cool delight. Sometimes, it’s the simplest pleasures that leave the strongest impression, especially when they come frozen, pink, and bursting with flavor.
