What is frosé?
Simply put, frosé is the common term for a frozen rosé wine cocktail.
I had not made frosé before testing this recipe; I am so happy with how it turned out. Frosé is said to have been developed in 2016 by bartender Justin Sievers at Bar Primi in New York.

How do I make frosé?
- When choosing a wine for this recipe, I recommend a rosé that is very "full bodied," like a rosé made from Pinot Noir or Merlot. These will likely be darker in color and have a better flavor profile once frozen. Cold temperatures dull our taste buds, so choosing a wine that is too light will not produce as delicious of a result.
- Once you have the wine of choice, you'll freeze the entire bottle for at least 5 hours. It will not freeze completely solid because of the alcohol content, but it will firm up.
- This recipe only requires 5 ingredients! Once your wine is frozen you'll scrape it into a blender with some sugar, frozen strawberries, peaches, lime juice, and salt. Blend like a normal smoothie and then place back in the freezer to firm up once more (only about 15 minutes). Re-blend and you're ready to serve!
I hope you enjoy this simple frosé recipe! Feel free to mix up the fruits by trying a different kind of berry or stone fruit. It should keep in the freezer for a few weeks, if you manage to have leftovers.

Strawberry Peach Frose
Ingredients
- 1 750 ml bottle full-bodied rosé wine dark, like a Merlot rosé
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen peach slices
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pour entire bottle of rosé into a large, freezer-proof container (like a 9 x 13 pan). Let freeze until almost completely solid, about 5 hours. It will not freeze completely due to the alcohol content.
- Scrape frozen rosé out of container (I recommend wearing ear plugs!) into a stand mixer. Add sugar, frozen fruit, lime juice, and salt. Blend to combine, starting slowly and increasing speed gradually until mixture is completely combined.
- Add back into the freezer for 10-20 minutes to form the proper consistency. Remove and blend once more if desired. Pour into 2-4 glasses (remember that was a full bottle of wine!). Frosé will keep in a freezer bag for a couple of weeks, be sure to thaw slightly before re-blending.
