Save Summer afternoons often call for something cool and refreshing, and nothing embodies that like a vibrant Watermelon Mint Frosé. The first time I tasted a frosé, it was at a friend's backyard barbecue, where the sun was glowing, and laughter filled the air. That brain freeze from the icy concoction sparked a craving I knew I had to recreate at home, but with a twist—alcohol-free! Combining juicy watermelon and mint, this drink became my go-to for sunny celebrations, bringing joy to each sip.
One afternoon, I decided to whip this up for a small picnic with friends. While they basked in the sun, I blended the ingredients with a few 90s tunes playing in the background, making everyone taste-test as I went. Their smiles when they took the first sip made the effort feel even sweeter, and I realized it wasn’t just a drink; it was a delightful experience worth sharing.
Ingredients
- Seedless watermelon: The star of the show, it offers a natural sweetness and beautiful color, especially if frozen ahead of time.

Instructions
- Prepare the fruit:
- Start by cubing the watermelon and hulling the strawberries, then freeze both for at least 4 hours or overnight. The colder, the better for that frosty delight!
- Blend it up:
- In your trusty high-speed blender, combine those frozen fruits with the chilled non-alcoholic rosé, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and any sweetener if you’re using it. Blend until it's all smooth and slushy, tuning into the satisfying whir of the blender.
- Adjust and serve:
- If the mixture is too thick, don't hesitate to add a splash more juice; you want the perfect slush consistency. Taste and tweak the sweetness before pouring into glasses, garnishing with a sprig of mint.
