Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle rosé wine chilled
  • 1 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 2 cups ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled rosé into your blender and add the mixed berries and chopped basil leaves.
  2. Add the simple syrup to the blender to balance the tartness and enhance the flavors.
  3. Drop in the ice cubes and secure the lid tightly.
  4. Blend on high speed until the mixture is slushy, with a slightly thick, icy texture and vibrant color, about 30-40 seconds.
  5. Pause and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or more wine and blend briefly to loosen.
  6. Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more simple syrup, then give it a quick pulse to combine.
  7. Pour the vibrant, icy mixture into glasses and garnish with a sprig of basil or extra berries for a decorative touch.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon, allowing the icy textures and fresh aromas to shine through.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different berries or herbs like mint or thyme to customize the flavor. For a less icy consistency, blend for a shorter time; for more crunch, keep it longer. This recipe is best enjoyed immediately for maximum freshness.
