Isn't She Lovely
ABOUT
April showers brought us May flowers. And they’re so beautiful, we made a cocktail with them.
Our first try at a frosé was a success! Lavender, watermelon, lemon juice, and rosé wine come together for the most delicious summertime treat. Most of all, this was much easier to make than anticipated.
Most frosés call for freezing the rosé. We decided to make some fresh watermelon juice and freeze them as ice cubes instead. This ensures that there isn’t any unnecessary dilution of our drink. Once you have all of your ingredients prepared, you just throw them into a blender and refreeze to get your ideal consistency.
Cheers to your new favorite frosé recipe!
This drink is served in a copeland or coupe glass. A lavender flower is an optional garnish.
