Yupppp…I’ve gone and done it.

THE MOST Refreshing Watermelon Aperol Frozé is the perfect cocktail for any summer get-together, BBQ or pool party!

And just in time for #nationalroséday! Yes, it’s a thing and yes, it’s tomorrow! So I hope you’re ready to make some of THE MOST Refreshing Watermelon Aperol Frozé to celebrate. I’ve got my blender ready and my watermelon in the freezer. This weekend is looking reallllll good.

I realize I may be a little late jumping on the frozé bandwagon, but since I was preggo last summer and couldn’t partake in the boozy fad as it took America by storm, cut me a little slack, will ya? I actually just had my first taste of this hip adult slushie a couple of weeks ago (which was, TBH, just so-so) but then I tasted it again when we got back to Santa Barbara and MAN did it blow me away. I guess the moral of my story is, you never know what you’re going to get, so if you want to guarantee yourself some tasty frozé, make your own recipe! And make my own recipe I did.

A frosty glass of THE MOST Refreshing Watermelon Aperol Frozé is the only cocktail you'll need all summer!

Chances are, if you’ve seen frozé being served somewhere, it’s being poured out of one of those fancy freezer machines. You’re also probably quite aware that alcohol does not freeze completely. Now, both of these factors alone are enough to discourage anyone from attempting to make their own frozé (um, yes, I’m well aware that the average joe does not have a freezer machine in their kitchen), but I have the magic answer for you, and that answer is frozen watermelon and a high-powered blender.

That’s right, we’re going to use frozen watermelon and blend it up real nice to give it that frozé feeling, without shelling out the serious dough for a freezer machine or watering down our beverage with silly ice cubes.

Watermelon, rosé and Aperol – that’s all we need to get this party started! I hope you’re as ready as I am.

All you need is just three ingredients to make THE MOST Refreshing Watermelon Aperol Frozé a part of your summer cocktail rotation!

Okay, enough building this up. Let’s get to the good stuff. THE MOST Refreshing Watermelon Aperol Frozé can’t wait any longer.

There’s really not much more to tell, because this recipe is just THAT easy, but I’ll walk you through it anyway. You’re only going to need three ingredients and one handy-dandy blender. Oh, and lots of friends because this recipe makes about 6 servings. You’ve been warned!

Aside from the frozen watermelon, you’ll need a bottle of your favorite rosé and about a cup of Aperol. Sure, you could leave the Aperol out if you’re a purist, but I love the bitter kick it gives to an otherwise sweet drink – plus another hit of bright red color.

Once you have all of the ingredients thrown into your blender, you’ll want to whir it up and serve it immediately. THE MOST Refreshing Watermelon Aperol Frozé is best served poolside, lakeside, beachside, or basking under the sun in your favorite hammock or lounge chair.

Oh, and on #nationalroséday 😉
