Strawberry Frosé Recipe

Before we dive into the proper recipe, let’s have a glance at what type of drink strawberry frosé is.

Frosé is simply a frozen rosé drink. It is a basic frozen cocktail jazzed up with the quintessential summer wine and garnished with strawberries.

This slushy drink has a pretty, tropical pink color and is typically not sweet. It tastes just like rose wine and is a happy hour favorite. If you have a sweet tooth, you can try sweetening this cocktail with some more honey.

You can also jazz up this fruity frozen wine cocktail with vodka to give it that extra kick.

Tips For Making A Delicious Frosé Drink

One major thing to note when making a frosé is that it requires proper planning and preparation. This is because the rose wine needs to be kept in the freezer for at least six hours to freeze.

So if you need to shake up a quick, impromptu cocktail to serve your guests, skip this recipe.

Another essential tip for making a delicious frosé drink is to pick the right fruits. Although using frozen strawberries will give you a nice frosé cocktail, it is best to use fresh strawberries.

This is because the process of freezing the rose to make it slushy tends to reduce the taste and flavor of the drink, so using fresh fruits in your recipe helps to enhance its flavor and give it a brighter, prettier color.

Finally, this frosé recipe can be tweaked to suit your personal preference. Some variations can include watermelon, raspberries, pineapple, mango, and peach.

If you would love your cocktail to have an extra zing, add some lemon juice to the recipe.

If you prefer a lighter cocktail, skip the lemon juice and add extra sugar or honey to sweeten it. There is no hard and fast rule to it, so feel free to add and remove as many ingredients as you please.

How To Make The Best Frosé Ever

First things first, choose your wine. Make sure you select a full-flavored, full-bodied, dark-colored, fruity rosé for freezing.

After freezing and blending, the wine will lose a little of its color and be a bit diluted, so you should go for something that will hold its own. The recipe below yields 4 to 6 glasses.
