And with the temperatures soaring (it\u2019s only March), who wouldn\u2019t love a glass of chilled (or even frozen) yumminess? So as part of our Women\u2019s Day celebration, the Pink Week, we\u2019ve created a slushie with our deliciously light ros\u00e9 wine, Big Banyan Rosa Rossa.<\/p>\n<p>Our ros\u00e9 is created with Zinfandel grapes plucked from vineyards in colder climes. This helps us preserve the natural aromas better. The wine has a charming pink blush that inspired the name, Rosa Rossa (it means \u2018pink rose\u2019 in Italian). With its fragrant burst of cherries and berries, the wine tantalises you to take a sip. The light bodied feel with just the right acidity, makes it a huge hit with the ladies.<\/p>\n<p>For our wine slushie, we\u2019ve also used another quintessential summer fruit &#8211; the watermelon. The drink is light, refreshing and just what you need when you have your gang of girls over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; A 750 ml bottle of Big Banyan Rosa Rossa<br \/>\n&#8211; A heaped cup of watermelon chunks (you can add more if you prefer your drink to be fruity)<br \/>\n&#8211; Ice cubes<br \/>\n&#8211; Basil leaves for garnish (optional)<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to fix it<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Before you begin, freeze the wine. Pour it out into a wide container and stow it in your freezer for 6-8 hours. (Note: The wine won\u2019t freeze over completely because of the alcohol).<br \/>\n&#8211; Take it out, and scoop the frozen wine into a blender. Add the watermelon chunks and ice cubes and blitz it lightly to get a slush-like consistency.<br \/>\n&#8211; Add a leaf or two of basil and serve immediately.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Slushies are very easy to make, and you can experiment with the wine and fruit flavours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slushies are all the rage this season.
