Since Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of summer, I am kicking it off by making one of my favorite summer cocktails! This frozen cocktail is so refreshing on a hot day and has just the right amount of booziness that you can enjoy more than one. But be careful, these taste so delicious you might forget that you are drinking wine!
1 bottle of Rosé Wine
1/2 cup honey powder or cane sugar
1 cup chopped strawberries
Juice of 1 lemon
You will need to prepare this cocktail 1 day ahead of time by pouring a bottle of wine into a resealable freezer safe bag. Place in freezer overnight
Meanwhile make the strawberry simple syrup. On a small pot on the stove add honey powder and equal parts water. Heat on low until the honey powder dissolves, whisking while it cooks. Remove from heat, but keep liquid in the pan. Add strawberries and let sit for 20 minutes. Remove strawberries and place the simple syrup liquid in the fridge. Don't throw the strawberries out, I use them to make a strawberry lemonade for the kids!
The next day at frozen rose to a blender, add the lemon juice and the simple syrup. I would start with about 1/3 cup of simple syrup and then taste the mixture, you can always add more. Add a cup of ice and blend until completely smooth, it will have the consistency of a slushy
Serve immediately!
