THE CANTEEN’S FROSÉ

Looking to serve a crowd? This recipe can easily be multiplied. The Canteen uses Bota Box Dry Rosé that’s crisp with the flavors of strawberry and grapefruit zest and holds raspberry aroma. One box equals four bottles, so just quadruple the water, strawberries, sugar and lime juice and you’ve got a batch large enough for a party.

1 750 ml bottle Dry Rosé

3 each strawberries, hulled and

quartered 1¾ cup water, divided

¾ cup sugar

¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 3 to 4 limes)

Pour rosé into ice trays and freeze overnight or at least eight hours. Put the strawberries in a zip-close bag and freeze overnight or at least eight hours.

Meanwhile, make simple syrup. Bring ¾ cup water to boil. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Let chill, storing in refrigerator until ready to use.

After the rosé is frozen, carefully remove the ice trays from the freezer (the alcohol will keep it from freezing solid). In a blender, blend the frozen strawberries and simple syrup. Add the lime juice and rosé cubes and blend again.

Using the pulse button, add up to one cup of water, blending until the frosé is a smooth velvety texture. Serves 6 to 8
