FROSE.....

It was so windy the other day that when I was walking to the gym I got blown into the Wine Store, so I bought a bottle of Rosé!

When we were in Seattle a few years ago, we visited the Chateau St Michelle Winery so I chose a bottle of their Rose.

With strawberry season approaching, I decided to make a batch of Frosé to keep in my freezer for when I wanted a nice refreshing drink on a warm spring day!

All you need is 4-6 strawberries to flavor this frozen drink!

To make the Simple Syrup:

In a saucepan, heat and dissolve 1/4 c sugar in a 1/4 c water.  Remove from heat and add 4-6 cut up strawberries and let sit for 30 minutes.  Strain the syrup through a sieve into a bowl and add 1 oz lemon juice. Toss the berries.

Mix the rosé and simple syrup into a plastic bowl or pitcher and freeze.  

You can serve this in any glass with a spoon and/or straw:

 The color of the Frosé will vary depending on the color of the Rosé and amount of strawberries you add.  I have figured out that I like using 6 strawberries, rather than 4, it brightens the color and makes it sweeter!

If you haven't tried this yet, make up a batch!

A little info on Rose:

 Rosé wines are made from a wide variety of grapes and can be found all around the globe. When rosé wine is the primary product, it is produced with the skin contact method. Black-skinned grapes are crushed and the skins are allowed to remain in contact with the juice for a short period, typically two to twenty hours.

Have a Rosé Day!!
