Frosé

Slushies are all the rage – here's the recipe for one that we think deserves to be one of the most famous of them all.

Marion Topitschnig

Ingredients
1 bottle Rosé
350 ml water
115 g sugar
250 g strawberries
70 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 handful ice cubes or crushed ice
fresh strawberries for the garnish
  • Pour the Rosé into a container suitable for the freezer and freeze for at least six hours (preferably overnight). The wine can also be frozen days in advance as its alcohol content means it never freezes completely.
  • Heat the water and sugar in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the strawberries and bring everything to the boil while stirring.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let the strawberries infuse for at least half an hour. Then strain the syrup, using a ver fine sieve or a coffee filter paper to strain out the seeds from the strawberries. Refrigerate the syrup. (Do not throw away the strawberries. You can mix them with yoghurt or serve them with pancakes).
  • take the frozen rosé out of the freezer and put it in a blender. Add about half of the strawberry syrup (to taste), the lemon juice and the ice cubes or crushed ice and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the frosé back into the freeze container and freeze for about half an hour.
  • Then put it back into the blender and blend again, divide it between the glasses and serve garnished with a fresh strawberry.

Tip:

You can make many different variations of Frosé, for example with raspberries instead of strawberries or with white wine, mango puree/mango juice, lime juice and an additional shot of vodka ... There are no limits to your imagination!
