This Sparkling Grapefruit Fros
Ingredients
- 1 (750 ml) bottle of high-quality Rosé
- 1 cup fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice (nutrient-dense)
- 1/4 cup organic agave nectar
- 1 cup purified ice
- Optional: Fresh mint sprigs and grapefruit wedges for garnish

*Expert Tip: Agave provides a smoother sweetness than granulated sugar, ensuring your frosé is perfectly balanced.*
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Freeze the Base: Pour the bottle of rosé into a shallow freezer-safe pan or baking dish. Freeze until slushy and scrapeable, typically 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Prep the Juice: While the wine freezes, squeeze fresh grapefruit juice to ensure a high concentration of bioflavonoids and enzymes.
- Blend: Scrape the frozen rosé into a high-speed blender. Add the grapefruit juice, agave nectar, and purified ice.
- Emulsify: Blend on high until the mixture is perfectly smooth and reaches a thick, “slushie” texture.
- Garnish & Serve: Pour into chilled glasses. Top with a sprig of mint and a grapefruit wedge for an aromatic, refreshing finish.

Professional Notes
While best enjoyed immediately for the optimal texture, leftovers can be stored in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before re-blending or serving.
Because alcohol does not freeze completely solid, using a shallow pan is critical. This increases surface area, allowing the rosé to reach a “scrapeable” consistency faster than keeping it in the bottle.
