There’s something incredibly refreshing about sipping a chilly, fruity cocktail on a warm day, and that’s exactly what makes the Frosè – Frozen Rose Recipe a total winner in my book. It’s bright, easy, and feels like summer in a glass every time I make it.

A clear glass stemmed coupe glass holds one layer of bright red, smooth strawberry drink with a soft texture filling the glass almost to the top. A single fresh strawberry slice, richly red with white inside and small seeds, is placed on the rim of the glass as a garnish. The glass is set on a white square surface with a grid texture, surrounded by several halved and whole fresh strawberries scattered around. In the background, a second coupe glass with the same red drink and part of a white bowl filled with whole strawberries can be seen. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface.

Frozen strawberries: Using them frozen means you don’t need tons of ice, so your drink stays flavorful and not watered down.
Rosé wine: I recommend a drinkable rosé, not too sweet or heavy, so it balances well with the fruit.
Simple syrup: This adds just the right touch of sweetness; you can tweak to taste or skip if you prefer a drier drink.
Lemon juice: Adds a citrusy zing that keeps the frosè refreshing and lively.
Ice cubes: Helps achieve that perfect slushy texture without diluting the flavors too much.

Make It Your Way

One of my favorite things about this frosè is how easy it is to tweak. Sometimes I add a splash of vodka for a little extra kick, or swap out the strawberries for raspberries when they're in season – it’s really forgiving and fun to experiment with.

Variation: On a whim, I once mixed in a few fresh mint leaves right before blending. It added a lovely herbal note that made the drink feel extra sophisticated.

Step-by-Step: How I Make Frosè – Frozen Rose Recipe

Step 1: Gather Fresh, Frozen Goodies

First things first, grab your frozen strawberries — I keep a bag in my freezer year-round because they’re incredibly versatile. Make sure your rosé is chilled so the blend stays nice and cold without needing too much ice.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Pop the frozen strawberries, rosé, simple syrup, lemon juice, and ice cubes into your blender. Pulse for about 30-60 seconds until it reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. Depending on your blender’s power, this can vary — don’t overblend, or you’ll end up with too much liquid.

Step 3: Pour and Garnish

Pour your frosè into lovely glasses and top with a strawberry slice or two. I like to add a sprig of mint sometimes just for that extra pop of color and aroma.

Top Tip

Having whipped up quite a few batches of this frosè, I’ve realized a couple of small tweaks make all the difference to get that perfect frozen texture and lively flavor.

Don’t skip the simple syrup: Even if you like it dry, a touch of syrup balances the tartness and ensures it’s not icy or bland.
Use frozen strawberries, not fresh: It creates the icy slush without needing tons of extra ice that dilutes the drink.
Chill your rosé well: The colder the wine when you start, the frostier and more refreshing the finished frosè will be.
Blend in short bursts: Overblending melts the ice and throws off the texture, so pulse until smooth but still slushy.

How to Serve Frosè – Frozen Rose Recipe

Garnishes

I usually keep it simple with a fresh strawberry or two on the rim of the glass, but a small sprig of fresh mint or edible flowers can turn this into something truly special for guests. If you’re feeling fancy, a tiny twist of lemon peel adds a zingy aroma.

Side Dishes

This frosè pairs wonderfully with light snacks like prosciutto and melon, fresh bruschetta, or even a colorful summer salad. I like to whip up some marinated olives and crusty bread on the side to keep things easy but elegant.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties, I’ve served frosè in pretty mason jars with paper straws or layered it in clear glasses alternating with frozen berries for a beautiful layered effect. It’s great served straight from a frozen punch bowl too—just be sure to stir occasionally!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I’ve found that leftover frosè is best kept in an airtight container in the freezer. Just scrape it back into a blender and pulse briefly before serving again—no need to remake the whole batch.

Freezing

Because of the fruit and wine content, freezing this frosè works well, but it may firm up quite a bit. Let it soften at room temperature slightly before re-blending to bring back that perfect slushy vibe.

Reheating

Since this is a frozen cocktail, “reheating” means just letting it sit out for 5–10 minutes to soften a bit before blending again. Heating it up isn’t ideal — you want to keep it cold and icy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

You can, but frozen strawberries give the best icy texture for frosè without watering down the drink with too much ice. If using fresh, add more ice cubes and freeze the drink longer.

What kind of rosé wine is best for this recipe?

Choose a rosé that you enjoy drinking on its own; usually dry or slightly off-dry varieties work best. Avoid overly sweet rosés as they can make the drink cloying.

Can I make this recipe vegan or gluten-free?

Absolutely! The ingredients are naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly, just be sure your simple syrup or sweetener choice aligns with your dietary preferences.

How long does frosè last if stored in the freezer?

It’s best enjoyed fresh but can be stored frozen up to 1 week. After that, the flavor and texture may decline, so re-blend and taste before serving.
