This delightful frozen cocktail is designed for warm weather gatherings, offering a refreshing escape with every sip. Crafted with an entire bottle of crisp rosé wine, complemented by the vibrant flavors of frozen peaches and strawberries, it creates the quintessential adult slushie experience.

Whether you affectionately call them wine slushies, frozen rosé, or simply “frosé,” you are about to discover your new obsession. This fresh, vibrant, and incredibly sassy adult beverage is guaranteed to become a staple at your poolside parties, backyard barbecues, and lazy afternoon get-togethers.

What Exactly is Frosé?

Frosé, a playful portmanteau for “frozen rosé,” is essentially a sophisticated wine slushie crafted from the base of rosé wine. It’s a deliciously chilled, blended drink that combines the light, fruity notes of rosé with other complementary ingredients, usually frozen fruits, a touch of liquor, and a sweetener, resulting in a smooth, icy concoction. Originating from high-end bars and quickly gaining viral popularity, frosé has become a symbol of summer relaxation and chic enjoyment.

Creating this delightful drink typically involves a full bottle of rosé – and yes, we highly recommend gathering a few friends to help you enjoy it! Beyond the rosé, most frosé recipes, including ours, incorporate a hard alcohol (such as rum or vodka), a selection of frozen fruits for flavor and texture, and a sweetener to balance the taste. The result is a beautifully pink, refreshingly cold, and wonderfully flavorful beverage that’s perfect for sipping on a warm day.

Selecting the Best Rosé for Your Frosé

When it comes to crafting the perfect frosé, almost any brand of rosé wine will work beautifully. However, for those seeking a truly exceptional experience, we have a few recommendations. Our personal favorite is the Gerard Bertrand Cote Des Roses Rosé. This exquisite wine, which we discovered during a trip to Las Vegas, offers a delightful balance of fruit and floral notes that elevates the frosé experience. While it typically retails around $20 a bottle, it’s worth snatching up when you find it on sale.

For those mindful of budget but unwilling to compromise on flavor, Yes Way Rosé is an absolutely fabulous choice. Priced around $13 a bottle, it delivers a wonderfully crisp and flavorful profile that stands up beautifully in a frozen cocktail. The added convenience of finding it at popular retailers like Target makes it an accessible and excellent option for your frosé adventures.

Ultimately, the key is to use a rosé that you genuinely enjoy drinking on its own. A dry or off-dry rosé tends to work best, as it allows the flavors of the frozen fruit and any added sweetener to shine without making the final drink overly sweet. Avoid anything too robust or heavily oaked, as those characteristics can become muddled in a frozen blend. Just ensure you have a full 750ml bottle on hand to yield enough for a delightful batch, perfect for sharing (or not!).

How to Effortlessly Make Frosé at Home

Ever wondered if making frosé at home is a complicated affair? Let me assure you, it’s as easy as pie! The fundamental principle behind frosé is incredibly simple, relying on a few core components blended to perfection. Think of it as a delightful equation: Rosé + Frozen Fruit + Booze + Sweetener + a powerful Blender = an abundance of frozen fun and unforgettable moments.

Essential Ingredients for Strawberry Peach Frosé

Gathering your ingredients is the first step to creating this delectable frozen cocktail. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Rosé Wine: As previously discussed, any variety of rosé wine you prefer will work. Choose your favorite bottle – a dry or off-dry option is generally recommended to best complement the fruit flavors. Ensure it’s well-chilled if you plan to freeze it slightly beforehand, though frozen fruit will do most of the chilling work.
• Frozen Fruit: For this specific recipe, we are using a delightful combination of frozen strawberries and frozen peaches. These two fruits create a harmonious blend of sweetness and a hint of tartness, along with a beautiful color. However, your options are truly limitless! Almost any berry (raspberries, blueberries, mixed berries) or other frozen fruits like mango, pineapple, or even watermelon would make fantastic substitutes or additions.
• Booze (Optional, but Recommended): A shot of hard liquor adds depth and a little extra kick to your frosé. We recommend white rum due to its subtly sweet profile that blends seamlessly without overpowering the delicate wine and fruit flavors. Vodka is another excellent alternative if you prefer a neutral base. For those who enjoy an even sweeter, fruit-forward wine slushie, a fruit-based schnapps (like peach or strawberry schnapps) could be a delightful choice, enhancing the fruit notes further.
• Sweetener: To perfectly balance the flavors and achieve your desired level of sweetness, a sweetener is often essential. Agave nectar was our preferred choice for this recipe due to its mild flavor and easy blendability. However, you can easily substitute it with maple syrup, honey, or a simple syrup (which you can easily make by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water, then cooling). If you prefer your drinks less sweet, feel free to reduce the amount or omit it entirely – taste as you go!

Step-by-Step Frosé Instructions

Once you’ve collected all your delightful ingredients, the magic happens in minutes:

1. Combine Ingredients: Place all your chosen ingredients – the entire bottle of rosé, frozen peaches, frozen strawberries, rum (if using), agave nectar (or your chosen sweetener), and a cup of ice – into a high-speed blender.
2. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches a beautiful slushy consistency. The goal is to eliminate any and all chunks of fruit or ice, creating a velvety-smooth texture that is a joy to drink. If your blender struggles, pulse a few times before blending continuously. Add an additional 1/2 cup of ice if you prefer a thicker, icier consistency. We recently invested in a high-quality blender, and it truly is a game-changer for achieving that perfect, lump-free frosé.
3. Serve Immediately: Pour your freshly blended frosé into chilled wine glasses or stemless tumblers. Garnish with fresh fruit slices, mint sprigs, or even edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Frosé

Exciting Frosé Variations to Explore

The beauty of frozen rosé lies in its versatility! The main ingredients, apart from the rosé itself, are easily swappable, allowing for an endless array of delicious flavor variations. Experimenting with different frozen fruits and spirits is key to discovering your next favorite frosé creation.

Triple Berry Frosé: For a deeper, richer berry flavor, use approximately 20 ounces of a mixed frozen berry blend (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries). Your frosé will exhibit a darker, more intense hue and burst with a complex medley of berry notes. This pairs wonderfully with a neutral spirit like vodka or even a berry-flavored liqueur.

Tropical Mango Frosé: Substitute the peaches and strawberries with 20 ounces of frozen mango chunks. Add a splash of lime juice for brightness and consider using coconut rum for a truly tropical escape. Garnish with a fresh mango slice and a tiny umbrella!

Green Monster Frosé: Feeling adventurous? Transform your frosé into a vibrant green monster! Blend in a small handful of fresh spinach with your fruit. Don’t worry, you won’t taste the spinach, but it will add a fun, unexpected color and a tiny boost of nutrients. This variation is particularly striking with a light-colored fruit base like frozen grapes or pineapple.

Orange Peach Frosé: Focus solely on the lusciousness of frozen peaches and elevate the citrus notes by adding a cup of fresh orange juice to the blend. This combination would be absolutely delightful with vodka instead of rum, allowing the fruit and orange flavors to truly shine. A garnish of orange zest or a peach slice would complete this sunny drink.

Spicy Watermelon Frosé: For a refreshing kick, use frozen watermelon chunks as your base. Add a squeeze of lime and a tiny dash of tequila or a hint of jalapeño-infused simple syrup for a surprisingly delicious spicy-sweet concoction. This is a must-try for those who love a little heat!

Creative Solutions for Leftover Frosé

While finishing a batch of this delicious frosé might not be a problem when you have friends around, there might be times when you find yourself with a little extra (perhaps you bravely made a batch just for yourself!). Don’t let a single drop go to waste; we’ve concocted a clever solution for you to enjoy your frosé later.

1. Freeze in Trays: The simplest way to preserve your leftover frosé is to transfer it into an ice cube tray. Pour the slushy mixture directly into the compartments.
2. Store for Later: Place the ice cube trays in the freezer and allow them to solidify completely. This usually takes at least 4 hours, or ideally, overnight. Once frozen solid, you can transfer the frosé cubes into a freezer-safe bag or container for long-term storage, making them ready whenever a frosé craving strikes.
3. Re-blend and Enjoy: When you’re ready to indulge again, simply pop a few frosé cubes into your blender. Add a small splash of fresh rosé wine (or even a little water or fruit juice) to help with the blending process. Blend until smooth, and voilà! You’ll have a perfectly refreshed and delicious glass of frosé, just like new. This method is also fantastic for quickly making single servings without needing a full new batch.

These frosé cubes are not just for re-blending. They can also be added to a glass of still rosé to keep it chilled without diluting the flavor, or even used in other cocktails for a fruity, wine-infused twist. Get creative with your frozen leftovers!

Tips & Notes

• What to do with leftover frosé: Don’t waste a drop! Make frosé cubes by pouring any remaining mixture into an ice cube tray and freezing for at least 4 hours or overnight. When you’re ready to enjoy again, simply blend the frosé cubes with a little more rosé wine or water until smooth.
