Ingredients & Why They Work
Each ingredient in this Frosè – Frozen Rose Recipe plays a crucial role in creating that beautifully balanced mix of fruity, floral, and frosty. I always recommend using really good quality rosé because it’s the backbone flavor—after all, you want to enjoy the wine you’re blending!
- Frozen strawberries: They give natural sweetness and a lovely berry flavor while also chilling the drink without watering it down.
- Rosé wine: Choose a bottle you’d happily drink on its own—dry or slightly sweet works great here for balance.
- Simple syrup: This adds that gentle sweetness to round off the tartness of the berries and wine; you can easily swap with granulated sugar or syrup.
- Lemon juice: A splash brightens everything up and keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying.
- Ice cubes: To smooth out the texture; I usually add just enough to get a thick slush without melting it too fast.
Make It Your Way
One of my favorite things about this Frosè – Frozen Rose Recipe is how flexible it is. I like to play around depending on the occasion—sometimes lowering the sweetness if the strawberries are especially ripe, or adding a bit of vodka when I want a little extra kick for a weekend with friends.
- Variation: Adding a splash of elderflower liqueur really takes it to the next level and adds a floral note I adore for brunches.
- Seasonal twist: Swap frozen strawberries for frozen peaches or raspberries when you want a slightly different fruit vibe.
- Lighten it up: Use sparkling rosé instead of still for a bubbly, festive feel.
- Non-alcoholic: Replace rosé with sparkling white grape juice and leave out the vodka—you still get a delicious frozen treat!
Step-by-Step: How I Make Frosè – Frozen Rose Recipe
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients and Chill the Wine
I always start by making sure the rosé is well chilled—this helps the drink stay cold and fresh without too much ice diluting the flavor. While it chills, I take out the frozen strawberries straight from the freezer so they’re ready to blend.
Step 2: Blend Until Silky Smooth
Into the blender go frozen strawberries, chilled rosé, simple syrup, lemon juice, and ice cubes. I pulse it in short bursts at first to break down the ice, then blend for about 30 to 60 seconds until it reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. If you notice it’s too thick, add a splash more wine; too runny, toss in a handful more frozen berries or ice.
Step 3: Pour, Garnish, and Enjoy
Pour your gorgeous pink frosè into glasses and garnish with a whole strawberry or two—it adds a lovely touch and extra fruity flavor as you sip. I like to serve mine right away because it’s best enjoyed before it melts too much.
Top Tip
This recipe is wonderfully forgiving, but my experience taught me a few tricks to get the perfect texture and flavor every time.
- Chill Your Rosé Thoroughly: Start with cold rosé straight from the fridge—even better if you pre-freeze it in an ice cube tray for a twist.
- Adjust Sweetness Slowly: Add simple syrup a little at a time—fresh strawberries can vary, so taste as you go to avoid over-sweetening.
- Blend in Pulses: Don’t just run your blender on high right away; pulsing helps prevent overheating and keeps the slush perfectly textured.
- Avoid Over-Melting: Serve immediately or store briefly in the freezer—once it melts it loses that lovely frosè texture you’re after.
How to Serve Frosè – Frozen Rose Recipe
Garnishes
I love garnishing with fresh strawberries, sometimes sliced thin and floated on top. For a little flair, a sprig of mint or edible flowers adds a charming touch and bright aroma that pairs well with the rosé’s floral notes.
Side Dishes
This frosè pairs beautifully with light bites like a cheese platter with creamy brie and fresh grapes, or bruschetta topped with tomato and basil—a combo that keeps things fresh and summery.
Creative Ways to Present
For special occasions, I’ve served frosè in coupe glasses rimmed with sugar and garnished with frozen edible flowers for that wow factor. Even layering a bit of frozen rosé granita on top adds texture and extra chill to the presentation.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftovers, I find it best to pop the frosè into a sealed container in the freezer. It keeps the slushy texture better than refrigeration, which causes it to melt into a watery mess.
Freezing
Freezing frosè works well if you want to prep ahead. Just stir it up a bit before serving to break it up—it may firm up like a frozen sorbet but blends back beautifully with a quick whirl.
Reheating
Reheating isn’t really part of the fun with frosè—if anything, just let it sit for a few minutes to soften before stirring. A quick blitz in the blender revives the slushiness much better than any warming.
Frequently Asked Questions:
