Ice Cream Maker Frozé

Can we take a second to talk about our very very deep love of frozé?  I spend the summer months selecting restaurants and happy hour haunts by whether or not they provide frozen beverages.  What frozé brings to the table that most frozen beverages do not, is that it is rarely sickly sweet and is simply an improved upon version of its original rose self.  A glass of frozé is simply a wonderful moment in your day, sitting on a patio with friends, appreciating everything that is perfect about summer.

We know that summer’s coming to a sad end, but we want to squeeze every last slushie-filled drop out of it and we want you guys to join us.  This recipe is so easy and so good.  We based it off of Bon Appetit’s recipe, which you can find here.

Ice Cream Maker Frozé   (makes about 6 servings)

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle rosé (not too sweet!)

• 1 oz. St. Germain

• 1/2 sugar

• 1/2 water

• 8 oz hulled strawberries

• 2 1/2 oz. lemon juice

• 1 c. ice

• To make:

Add sugar and water to a pan and bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and add strawberries.  Let sit for 30 minutes.  Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to reserve syrup.  Combine syrup, lemon juice, rosé, and ice in a blender and blend until combined and ice is thoroughly crushed.  Pour into chilled ice cream maker, turn on, and wait for frozé perfection!

As ever,
