I love to cook and entertain, and one thing I want to master this summer is making good cocktails for when all my besties are done being pregnant! I already make a mean Mojito after working at a Mexican restaurant all throughout High School and College. We actually made the best in town! The secret ingredient sprite 🙂 So this summer I decided I needed to learn a new trick and the verdict is in Frosé is the ultimate drink this summer. Its a cool mix of Rosé, Strawberries and Lemon blended into an adult slushy! I mean what’s better to make on these hot summer days (it’s at least 10 degrees hotter in the Valley than the rest of LA) then to make Frosé!

 

 

I decided to take my Memorial Day Sunday and learn. Many of you followed along in my instagram story. I am so glad  I took the time to learn becasue this is going to be a summertime staple at Brunches, BBQs, and everything in between! Oh and did I mention its husband approved 🙂 He’s always the taste tester, and he’s very opinionated.

So here without further delay here is the recipe thanks to Bon Appétit!

Ingredients

1 750 ml Bottle of Dry Rosé

1/2 Cup of Sugar

8 Ounces of Stawberries (about 1/2 Cup) plus a few for Garnish

2 1/2 Ounces of Fresh Lemon Juice  (about 2 whole lemons juiced)

Process

1. 1. Pour Rosé into 1 ice tray and let freeze for 6 hours in freezer, because this is alcohol it won’t freeze completely but thats ok, if it still has a watery constancy don’t be alarmed.
2. 

2. Next Juice your lemons and set aside, then cut up your strawberries into quarters.

3. Bring 1/2 cup of water to a Boil, once your water has come to a boil add 1/2 cup of sugar and stir until sugar has dissolved. Turn off heat and add strawberries to the sugar water and let strawberries infuse for30 minutes. (you are making strawberry infused simple syrup go you!) Then drain the simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve.

4. In a blender combine, frozen Rosé, lemon juice, simple syrup and ice until smooth, pour into your favorite wine glass and enjoy!
