Strawberry Lemon Frosé
Ingredients
1 750 ml bottle rosé
8 oz frozen strawberries
2½ ounces fresh lemon juice
St Germain (optional)

Instructions
Freeze the rosé overnight in a shallow pan. It won’t fully freeze because of the alcohol, but should get to an icy consistency. Break the frozen rosé into chunks and put in high speed blender. Add frozen strawberries and lemon juice and blend until smooth. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little simple syrup and blend. Top with a St Germain floater!
