Pour a bottle of rosé wine and 1 12 oz can grapefruit sparkling water (such as LaCroix) into a large baking dish. Freeze for 24 hours, or until the rosé is frozen solid. When it's ready, break it up into big frozen pieces with a fork, and scoop it into a blender along with 4 ounces tequila, 1/2 grapefruit, juiced, 1 large lime, juiced, and 3–4 tablespoons agave nectar. Serve immediately, garnished with grapefruit zest or wedges as desired.

Fill an ice cube tray with a bottle of rosé (there will still be most of the bottle leftover), and place in freezer. Once rosé is frozen, place rosé ice cubes into a blender, along with the lemon juice from one lemon, 1 cup frozen raspberries, 1/3 cup vodka, and a cup of the remaining rosé. Blend until smooth, and then strain with a mesh strainer to remove the seeds from the raspberries. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Pour a bottle of (darker) rosé into a freezer-safe container and freeze overnight or at least 6 hours. Since rosé is alcohol, it won’t be frozen solid.

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to melt the sugar, about 3 minutes. Add 10 oz frozen pineapple chunks. Stir and bring back to a boil. Remove from heat. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Then stir in 20 mint leaves before letting it rest for 20 minutes. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Do not press on the pineapples. Just gently stir around to let the syrup drip down. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge, about 30 minutes.

In a blender, add 5 tablespoons lemon juice, 5½ ounces (½ cup plus 3 tablespoons) pineapple mint syrup, frozen rosé, 5 fresh mint leaves, and 1 cup of ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Cover with a lid and transfer the blender jar along with the frosé into the freezer. Freeze until thickened, about 25–35 minutes. Blend again until smooth. Pour into serving glasses and serve immediately.
