FAQs
Frozen strawberries are best for this recipe. The consistency and flavor will be different with fresh berries because you will need ice to make the drink "frozen", which will dilute the strawberry flavor.
Looking for a boozier option? Add a shot of vodka, rum, or elderflower liqueur to the top of the frosé when serving and stir it in!
100 percent. A good blender makes a huge difference. We both have Blendtecs and love them but they are especially great for making smoothies and frozen drinks. You can use any blender, of course, but you may need to process your drinks a few times to make sure they are smooth and free of chunks.
Absolutely! Simply prepare as normal and then pop it in a container and store it in the freezer. It won't freeze solid because of the alcohol content.
Pro Tip: Use an ice cream scooper to portion it out when serving frosé from the freezer.
Expert Tips for the Best Frozen Rosé
- Start with chilled ingredients. Chilled wine and juice will keep your frosé extra slushy without additional ice that can dilute the flavor.
- Only use fresh lemon juice. Bottled juice contains preservatives that alter the taste. the extra minute of squeezing the juice is worth it.
- Use a mid-range price rosé. No need for an expensive bottle to make this refreshing cocktail, when you are mixing wine with other ingredients it doesn't need to be your best bottle.
- Use a wine you like to drink. If you like sweeter wines pick a rosé that is more berry forward in flavor, if you like things less sweet, opt for a drier variety.
- Taste and adjust sugar if necessary. The sweetness of the wine and your berries will have an impact on the end result of the frozen rosé. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if desired.
