Ingredients
Scale
3 cups frozen strawberries
1 (750 ml) bottle dry rosé wine, partially frozen for at least 4 hours
1/2 cup simple syrup
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 small jalapeño, seeds removed and thinly sliced (optional, for firecracker heat)
1 tablespoon chili-lime seasoning (like Tajín) for rimming
Instructions
Prepare the rosé: Pour the rosé wine into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Freeze until slushy but not completely solid, about 4 to 6 hours. Break up any large ice chunks before blending.
Prepare the rims: Pour the chili-lime seasoning onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your serving glasses and dip them into the seasoning. Set aside.
Combine ingredients: Place the frozen strawberries, partially frozen rosé, simple syrup, lime juice, and sliced jalapeño (if using) into a high-powered blender.
Blend: Pulse the mixture until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or more rosé. If you want more heat, add a small piece of jalapeño and blend again briefly.
Serve immediately: Pour the frozen firecracker rosé slushie into the prepared glasses. Garnish with a strawberry slice or a thin lime wheel.
Notes
For a less intense spice, skip the fresh jalapeño and instead use 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper mixed into the simple syrup before chilling.
If you do not have time to partially freeze the wine, use 1.5 cups of ice cubes, but the flavor will be slightly diluted.
To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rosé with 3 cups of chilled white grape juice and add 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar for complexity.
