Ah, frosé! It’s pink, it’s slushy, it’s wine and it’s fruit. It’s frozen rosé, aka fro-zay baby! This is the drink of the summer and it’s so easy to make in your Thermomix or even a sturdy blender. (And if you’re watching this in a chilly hemisphere, it’s the drink to make you look forward to next summer!)
I have to apologise for two things in this short video. One is that I stole one of my kid’s lunch boxes to freeze the wine. SOZ! The other is that I make a really lame joke at the end of the video that I’m not sure anyone will get. I think it’s my version of a dad joke. Email me at [email protected] if you get it – this will make me feel better!
Serves: 6
Time: 12 minutes + 10 hours freezing time
Ingredients
- 100 grams (3.5 oz) sugar
- 200 grams (7 oz) water
- 200 grams (7 oz) frozen strawberries
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 bottle rose, poured into a container and frozen overnight (I am a big fan of Rob Dolan’s True Colours Pinot Noir Rosé)
Thermomix Method
1. Make a light sugar syrup by placing sugar and water into mixing bowl and heating for 4 min/100ºC (212°F)/speed 1. Remove Thermomix lid and allow syrup to cool (approx. 5–10 minutes).
2. Add frozen rosé, frozen strawberries and lemon juice to mixing bowl. Blend 40 sec/speed 9.
Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Traditional Method
1. Make a light sugar syrup by placing sugar and water into a small saucepan and heating until sugar has dissolved. Allow syrup to cool (approx. 5–10 minutes).
2. Place sugar, frozen rosé, frozen strawberries and lemon juice into a blender and blend until smooth and slushy.
Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Tips
- Pre-prepare the sugar syrup and frozen wine and you’re just one minute away from Emergency Frosé.
- I’m a fan of Matilda’s Frozen Fruit. They don’t give me anything to say that but I like that their fruit is Australian-grown and snap frozen in facilities used only for fruit.
Variation
- Try spiking the Frosé with Cointreau or vodka if you’re feeling really racy.
Try serving Frosé with cubed melon sprinkled with Chilli & Lime Crumb.
