Watermelon Part 4: The Frosé Watermelon

 The penultimate post is by far the most delicious drink out of the whole group. I can\'t believe the overwhelming response to this drink on my birthday and I ended up making a couple more of these quickly throughout the night.

This series has been a lot of fun to make and come up with. As we are approaching the end of the summer aka my birthday, I wanted to do something different that I have never really made or seen that often. That is frosé. Again, all these drinks are super easy, fun, and delicious drinks as we enjoy the end of the summer.  I do recommend making this at least a day or about 6-8 hours in advance because it makes a huge difference. If you don\'t have that time, no worries. It will take a couple minutes but easy to do.

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle of Rosé
  • Watermelon juice and fruit
  • Raspberry (1/2 cup)
  • Plum Simple Syrup (8 ounces)
  • Lime Juice (~4 ounces)
  • 2 plums (diced)

Preparing in advance:

  • In a large container, pour the rosé in without a care in the world. It is going to be about 60/40 to 50/50 juice to rosé. Anything 70 or above will freeze it solid like making a booze popsicle.
  • Like the other posts, preparing the watermelon in advance is easy. Cut the bottom or the top to create a flat base. Then, scoop the fruit out and place in a separate container.
  • In a large blender, combine a couple of cups of watermelons, add about half of the raspberries, lime juice and blend until combined.
  • Pour it into the jar or container and add the plum simple syrup as well.
  • On a cutting board, slice the plums into small-bite size pieces and add those with the remaining raspberries and watermelon in a jar. Mix to combine and test to see if it requires any more watermelon or berries.
  • Place in the freezer for 6-8 hours in advance
  • When ready to serve: scoop out the frosé with the spoon.
  • I like to add a little club soda or in my buddy\'s case: a white claw.

 

This is probably one of the best drinks I have made this summer and was perfect for the occasion. I can\'t say it enough that watermelon has a perfect place in alcoholic summer drinks. Making a 5-part series on watermelon drinks has been a lot of fun and I have enjoyed bringing new dimensions to a versatile fruit. My next and final drink post for this series is my favorite. In the next couple days, the next post will feature the \"End of the Summer Sangria!\"
