What Is Frosé Made Of?

Frosé, also known as frozen rosé, is made of rosé wine, frozen fruit, fresh lime juice, and sweetener, creating a refreshing and delicious frozen drink. The rosé provides a light, fruity base, while the lime adds a zesty brightness that enhances the flavors. The sweetener balances the tartness, resulting in a perfectly refreshing treat that’s ideal for summer sipping. When blended with frozen strawberries or your frozen fruit of choice, frosé becomes a vibrant, slushy delight that’s flavorful and enjoyable!

Ingredients Needed

• Rosé: Use one bottle of chilled rosé.
• Frozen Fruit: You can use your frozen fruit of choice in this recipe depending on what flavor you want your frosé to be. I used frozen strawberries for a strawberry frosé.
• Lime: Squeeze the juice of half of a lime.
• Sweetener: You can use your sweetener of choice to sweeten the frosé. Some options are honey, sugar, or a sugar-free sweetener of choice. You can adjust the amount of sweetener you add depending on the desired sweetness of your frosé.
• Ice: You can add ice to the frosé mixture and blend for a more slushy texture.

What Rosé To Use For Frosé?

For making frosé, it’s best to choose an affordable yet flavorful rosé that complements the refreshing nature of this frozen drink. A great option is to select a rosé from a region in France known for producing high-quality rosé wines. Provence rosé is my favorite because Provence is renowned for its rosé wines, which are typically light, crisp, and dry with hints of red fruit and citrus. These characteristics make them perfect for blending into a delicious frosé.

How To Make Frosé

Step 1: Juice half of a lime. Also, ensure the rosé is chilled before preparing this recipe.

Step 2: Add the frozen strawberries or frozen fruit of choice, lime juice, sweetener, and optional ice to a blender. After that, pour the chilled rosé into the blender.

Step 3: Thoroughly blend the ingredients until combined. Taste the mixture and add more sweetener if needed to reach your desired level of sweetness, and then blend again.

Step 4: Pour into glasses and serve.

How To Serve

After blending the frosé, pour it into glasses and garnish with a fresh strawberry or slice of lime for a beautiful presentation. Also, serve frosé after making it while it has a slushy texture. Frosé pairs well with light appetizers such as cheese platters or fruit skewers. It is a great choice for summer gatherings! It would pair nicely with our crab dip, brie bites, and vegetable charcuterie board.

Expert Tips

• Use Chilled Rosé: Ensure the rosé is well chilled before making this recipe. The rosé must be chilled for your frosé to have a slushy texture.
• Adjust The Sweetness: You can adjust the sweetness of your frosé depending on how sweet you want it to be. Start with 1/4 cup of sweetener. Then, taste the blended mixture and blend in more sweetener if needed to reach your desired level of sweetness.
• Make Less: If you don’t want to use a whole bottle of rosé and make as much frosé, you can make a quarter of half of this recipe.
• Use Frozen Fruit: It is important to use frozen fruit because it contributes to the slushy texture of frosé.
• Add Ice: The amount of ice you add affects the texture and consistency of frosé. If you prefer a thicker, slushier texture, add more ice cubes and blend.
• Lime Substitution: If you don’t have lime, you can freshly squeeze about one tablespoon of lemon juice instead.

Frosé Variations

• Strawberry Frosé: I made a strawberry frosé with frozen strawberries and a splash of lime juice.
• Peach Frosé: For a peach flavor, use frozen peach slices instead. This would be delicious with a splash of lemon juice.
• Mango Frosé: Use frozen mango chunks and a splash of lime juice.
• Cherry Frosé: You can use frozen pitted cherries.
• Berry Frosé: Use a combination of frozen berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
• Watermelon Frosé: For a watermelon flavor, use frozen watermelon cubes. Or, use a combination of frozen strawberries and frozen watermelon.
• Add Vodka: If you want to make frosé with vodka, blend a shot of vodka into the frosé mixture for an extra kick.
• Add Limoncello: You can add a splash of limoncello for a zesty, lemon-infused flavor. If you add limoncello, omit the lime juice from this recipe.
• Aperol: Add a splash of Aperol for a bittersweet, refreshing twist with hints of orange flavor. Also, omit the fresh lime juice.
• Add Gin: Add a shot of gin for a complex and aromatic twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Fresh Fruit Instead?

I recommend using frozen fruit because it contributes to the slushy-like texture of frosé. However, if you don’t have frozen fruit, freeze fresh fruit. If you add fresh fruit as is, you will need to add more ice to achieve a slushy consistency.

What Does Frosé Taste Like?

Frosé tastes like a refreshing, fruity, and slightly tart frozen treat. The flavor comes from the rosé, which is light and crisp. When the rosé is blended with frozen strawberries, the drink takes on a sweet, juicy strawberry flavor that perfectly complements the wine. I added a splash of lime juice for a zesty flavor. The addition of sweetener helps balance the tart flavor and contributes to the sweetness.

Can I Store Leftover Frosé?

Frosé is best enjoyed immediately after making it while it has a slushy consistency. However, if you have some left, you can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. When you are ready to serve again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before blending the frozen mixture again. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly after freezing.

How Do I Make A Non-Alcoholic Version?

You can make a non-alcoholic version of frosé. Blend the frozen strawberries with one cup of non-alcoholic rosé, sparkling grape juice, or sparkling apple juice. Also add lime juice, sweetener, and ice. Then, blend these ingredients and serve.

Is Frosé Gluten-Free?

Yes, this frosé is naturally gluten-free. If you add any additional ingredients ensure they are gluten-free.
