Summer cocktail: Raspberry and Mint Frosé

June 15, 2017 by Katie Bryson 8 Comments

How to make raspberry and mint frosé on feedingboys.co.uk
The weather has warmed up, so I feel duty bound to start creating refreshing cocktails, and after the Frosé almost broke the internet last summer I felt I really should pull my finger out and make some myself. What’s a frosé? It’s a rosé wine based slushie. Sounds great no?!

Pink Wine Season

Summer is definitely pink wine season! Do you drink rosé? A lot of people I know don’t like it, but as long as it’s super dry I’m a huge fan of a lovely chilled glass in the garden. There’s just something about the delicate pink colour that screams summer, and goes so well with a plate of barbecued sausages and halloumi. Love love love this time of year. I’m a summer baby so that’s possibly why!

Just to warn you I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, so I’ve kept my spin on the Frosé pretty dry and tangy. It’s a simple combination of tart frozen raspberries, refreshing mint and the driest rosé I could find. In this case it was Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Bordeaux Rosé.

The result was a really zingy and refreshing frozen drink that demanded we sit in the garden while we sipped it through straws. Bliss.

A refreshing summer cocktail blending rosé wine with frozen raspberries, ice and fresh mint

Course: Drinks
Servings: 2
Author: Katie Bryson
Ingredients
  • 200 g frozen raspberries
  • 300 ml dry rosé wine
  • 1 handful ice cubes
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint to garnish
Instructions
  1. Pop the raspberries and wine into a powerful blender and blitz until smooth

  2. Add the ice a little at a time and blend until you achieve the consistency of a smooth slushie. The more ice you add the thicker it will be.

  3. Serve immediately in tall wine glasses with pretty straws and a sprig of fresh mint leaves

Recipe Notes

If you want to make things properly minty, add a few mint leaves into the blender with the raspberries and wine.

 

Frosé – slushies for grown-ups

If you like your drinks sweet then you could add a little sugar syrup to taste, or use frozen strawberries instead of rasps. The beauty of this drink is that you can just customise it with the ingredients you love and just keep experimenting with the flavour and texture until you get it exactly how you like it. Just the kind of recipe experimentation I like best.

What blender to use

Because you’re using solid ice and frozen fruit in this recipe, I heartily recommend using a sturdy power blender which cuts through it no worries at all. My blender of choice for the kitchen is the Froothie Optimum G2.3!

    Such a pretty pink drink! Since I have a sweet tooth, how would I sweeten it though? Adding a bit of caster sugar?

    I’ve been lusting after a glass of this since I saw it on Instagram. It’s beautiful and sounds just what’s needed on a hot summer’s afternoon or evening. I have a sweet tooth, but not when it comes to drinks, so this sounds perfect for me.
