Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) rosé wine (dry or off-dry)
- 3 cups (450 g) frozen strawberries
- 10–12 fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 g) sugar or honey (optional)
- 1 cup (120 g) ice cubes
Instructions
- Rinse the basil leaves gently under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Set aside 10–12 leaves.
- Place frozen strawberries and basil leaves into the blender.
- Pour in 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) of chilled rosé wine.
- Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice and 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 g) sugar or honey, depending on sweetness preference.
- Add 1 cup (120 g) of ice cubes.
- Blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth, thick, and slushy. Stop and scrape down sides if needed, then blend again briefly.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sweetener or rosé/cold water as needed.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with a fresh basil leaf or strawberry slice.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for best texture; fresh basil is essential for brightness—avoid dried basil. Chill rosé before blending to keep slushie cold longer. Adjust ice quantity carefully to avoid watery or overly hard texture. If slushie sits too long, stir or pulse again before serving. For non-alcoholic version, substitute rosé with white grape juice and sparkling water.
