Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
Frozen rosé slush with strawberries and a touch of lemon. The easiest way to make frosé in a regular blender.
- 10 min prep
- 2 drinks
- Stemless wine glass
Frosé is just rosé wine turned into a slushie, but there's a trick: because wine doesn't freeze solid, the best frosé comes from freezing the wine itself into cubes first. That way you don't dilute the wine with ice.
Pour a bottle into ice-cube trays the night before and this recipe takes less than a minute to blend.
Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
Ingredients (2 drinks)
- 12 oz dry rosé, frozen in ice-cube trays
- 2 oz dry rosé, chilled (liquid)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 oz simple syrup
- ½ cup ice cubes (if needed)
Instructions
- Freeze rosé in ice-cube trays for at least 6 hours (it will stay a little slushy).
- Add the liquid rosé, lemon juice and syrup to the blender.
- Add the rosé cubes and strawberries.
- Blend on high for 30 seconds; add the ice only if it's too loose.
- Pour into chilled wine glasses.
Garnish: Strawberry slice or a lemon twist
Glass: Stemless wine glass
Tips for the best texture
- Pick a bold, fruity rosé; pale, delicate rosés taste watery when frozen.
- If you're short on time, use 2 cups ice instead of frozen wine and increase the liquid rosé to 8 oz.
Try a twist
Add 1 oz vodka for a stronger frosé, or use watermelon instead of strawberries.
Blender, frozen drink maker or slush machine?
These amounts are written for a standard countertop blender. In an ice-shaving frozen drink maker, put the ice in the hopper and the liquids and any fruit in the jar, then run a full cycle. In a home slush machine, which freezes the drink itself, leave out the ice, replace it with about 1 cup of cold water or juice, and pour the mixed liquid into the bowl.
