Summer is frozen rosé season! Watermelon peach frosé is made with frozen seedless watermelon chunks, frozen peach slices, a touch of agave nectar, and an entire bottle of chilled rosé wine.
Summer Frozen Rosé
The key to surviving summer is hydration. Ever since I bought myself one of these giant stainless steel water bottles, I’ve been drinking more water.
I’ve noticed that my skin feels a lot better, I’m not as hungry as I usually am throughout the day, and my headaches have calmed down a bit.
Moral of the story: DRINK WATER! I’ve also been eating my weight in watermelon.
Why This Recipe Works
This watermelon peach frosé is what summer should taste like.
It’s cold, refreshing, and just a tad sweet.
I’m not fan of adding ice to blended drinks. The ice eventually melts and dilutes the drink. (Same reason why I don’t add ice to my fruit and veggie smoothies.)
By omitting ice and using frozen fruits, you’re adding texture and flavor.
Ingredients
All you need is a high-speed blender and a handful of ingredients!
- Grab one 750ml bottle of rose wine
- About 3 cups of frozen watermelon chunks
- About 3 cups of frozen peach slices
- If you like your blended drink on the sweeter size, add a tablespoon or so of agave nectar or sweetener of choice
No fancy equipment needed, just a blender.
Blend until smooth. And volià! You’ve got your own homemade slushie.
Recipe Variations
Easily swap out the frozen fruits for whatever you happen to have on hand. Great choices are frozen mango, frozen pineapple, or frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries).
I used Sofia rosé. It’s a pinot noir based rosé wine that’s crisp yet dry. I suggest it for this recipe, otherwise use a darker, full bodied rosé. Stay away from light or pale rosé. It’s flavors may get lost among the fruit.
If you have white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc) try mango pineapple sangria slush.
Fans of prosecco should make this blended berry bellini flavored with elderflower.
Watermelons are 92 percent water (and 6 percent sugar) and they’re a delicious way to stay cool and hydrated.
Upon buying giant watermelons, I immediately slice them into chunks. Half gets thrown in the freezer and I happily devour the remaining half with chili salt.
Can you guess what happens to the frozen watermelon chunks? They get blended into watermelon peach frosé!
Half a point if you answered: watermelon sorbet, watermelon margarita floats or watermelon tequila ice pops.
What have we learned today? The three steps for a great summer are: 1. drink plenty of water, 2.) eat all the watermelon, and 3.) enjoy a glass of watermelon peach frosé at least twice before September.
CHEERS!

Notes
- Chilled wine and frozen fruits are necessary to achieve that thick, slushie like consistency.

I love working fresh fruit into whatever I can! Do you ever eat the frozen watermelon straight? I wonder if it would be like a popsicle since it’s so much water. Sounds delicious!
Yes to pink drinks! A dry rose is something I love to sip on with lunch. These little rose smoothies are perfect!
You had me at rosé.
I can’t drink wine because of the heartburn, but I can drink rose. And I’ll have to try this. Off to look at your other watermelon recipes!
