Grapefruit Frosé
Summer has hit here in Charleston! It’s in the 80s and humid! I guess I should be thankful that it’s not 95 degrees yet. So, needless to say, we’ve been in the pool on the daily!
This past weekend, we had such a great time celebrating Memorial Day and just having loads of family time (as if we really had another option HAHA). We lounged in bed, swam in the pool, went downtown to our favorite coffee shop, and grilled out every afternoon. It was magical, to say the least!
I love long weekends where we get to shut everything off and recharge. It’s good for the soul. Don’t you agree?
While I had some time on my hands, I did some recipe testing, because that’s also good for the soul. I came up with the most delicious and refreshing Grapefruit Frosé! It’s tart, crisp, and perfect on a hot afternoon. You could always add some agave nectar, but I love the tartness of the grapefruit juice alone! So here’s what I did…
Grapefruit Frosé Recipe
Measure out 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice (1 large grapefruit) and 1/2 cup of rosé (or dry white wine) into a glass measuring cup. Next, pour that into ice cube trays and freeze them completely.
Once the cubes are frozen, pop them into a blender with 2 oz store bought grapefruit juice and 1 oz vodka (if you’re feelin’ frisky). Blend until slushy and garnish with mint (because it’s pretty)!
This is absolutely delicious! It’s great for entertaining and also just as great to sip by yourself on a hot summer day!
