Frosé Revival: The Coolest Way to Chill Out This Summer

by

I’ve always found the summer urge to freeze a little confusing. One minute you’re craving smoothies, the next maybe a popsicle. But this frosé? It’s a revelation, a frozen wine beacon that somehow makes the heat more bearable.

What sets this recipe apart is not just the booze but how it captures the joy of a lazy afternoon. It’s not about perfect slicing or complicated techniques; it’s about pouring, blending, and gulping down something that feels as indulgent as it looks.

This is the kind of drink you want to keep on hand, especially when friends drop by unannounced or when the sun hits that sweet spot in the sky. It’s a casual, effortless way to turn a simple wine into a slush of celebration.

Frosé (Frozen Rosé wine cocktail)

Frosé is a semi-frozen wine-based slush made by blending rosé wine with fruit and other flavorings until smooth and icy. It has a vibrant, slightly icy texture and a refreshing appearance, perfect for warm weather gatherings. The recipe involves freezing, blending, and serving directly from the container for a cool, indulgent beverage.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle rosé wine preferably chilld
  • 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup adjust sweetness as desired
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • High-speed blender

Method
 

  1. Pour the rosé wine into a shallow container and freeze until completely frozen, about 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Once frozen, break the wine into chunks with a fork to loosen it up, making it easier to blend.
  3. Add the frozen wine chunks, fresh strawberries, simple syrup, and lemon juice into a high-speed blender.
  4. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, icy, and has a slushy consistency, about 30-45 seconds.
  5. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by blending in a little more simple syrup.
  6. Pour the frosty mixture into glasses, garnishing with additional strawberries or lemon slices if desired.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best texture. You can re-freeze leftovers, but the texture may harden; re-blend before serving.

When you finally spoon the last bit of frozen rosé, there’s a quiet satisfaction. The flavors linger—a hint of berry, a touch of tartness—making you wish you’d made more. It’s perfect for lingering outdoors or double-fisting as you listen to summer’s evening hum.

Keep some wine in the freezer and a few strawberries on hand, and you’ve got a quick ticket to a refreshment that’s a little fancy and totally forgiving. Just don’t forget to sip it slowly, letting that cold, winey goodness wash over you as the day melts away.
