Initially, when brainstorming flavor combinations to make my own at home, lavender and rhubarb were the first contenders. Then rhubarb came out victorious.
Fresh mint accentuates the cool for these very hot days. It is the perfect addition to enhance this Rhubarb Mint Frosé’s flavor. Rhubarb is sour and tangy. So I made a sugar rhubarb syrup and a mint syrup first to balance out the dry rose and the rhubarb flavor. Once the syrup has cooled, strain it and then add a bottle of rosé.
Patience Required
The best part about this recipe is that you have the option of blending the entire batch at once, or you can just take 6 cubes out of the freezer at a time and make yourself an individual cocktail whenever you want a refreshing drink. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled to create a larger batch of Frosé.
Don’t wait any longer to get your Frosé on. It’s refreshing and the perfect adult slushy.
