These Frose slushies are the ultimate way to celebrate rosé season! Refreshing, minimal ingredients, and so easy to prepare… It’s a Summer cocktail WIN!
Frose Recipe
Rosé, a little honey, frozen strawberries, and lemon makes this summertime cocktail perfection. I’ve known about the frose trend for some time now but hadn’t tried it until recently, and I am officially hooked!
Earlier this month I was in the Hampton’s for an amazing retreat that I hosted with Liz from The Lemon Bowl and Gina from Skinnytaste. We had such a blast — which you’ll read more about very soon! We visited Bedell Cellars in North Fork, Long Island for a wine tasting on a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon, and ended our time there with a refreshing glass of frosé. It was the perfect summer slushie that I knew I had to recreate it for you guys!
So, what is Frosè?
Frose is simply frozen rose! It’s rose wine blended with some frozen strawberries and ice, with just a touch of honey. Most frose recipes tend to be on the too sweet side, but my recipe is sweetened just right using only unrefined sweeteners. It’s basically a blend between a summery frozen cocktail and a glass of wine.
What kind of rose should I choose?
Choose a rose that is full-bodied as the flavor gets somewhat diluted once it is blended. Make sure that it’s a rose that you’d want to drink on it’s own for the best flavor frose.
Here is what you need to make this frose recipe:
- Rose wine
- Ice
- Frozen strawberries
- Lemon
- Honey
How to Make Frozen Rose:
- Place rose wine, ice, frozen strawberries, lemon, and 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup in a blender. Blend until well combined. If you made simple syrup, place the extra sweetener in your fridge for later use.
- Taste and add more sweetener before serving depending on how sweet you want it! If it isn’t thick enough, add more ice or frozen berries as needed.
