My favorite thing about rosé is that is isn’t super sweet, instead it has a touch of tartness. It’s so cooling and has a great flavor!
Frosty blended cocktails are a go to for me during warm months. I especially love that I can get in some real frozen fruit instead of sugar filled mixes! My frozen wine slushie recipe or wine popsicles are other fabulous ways to mix up flavors!
Ingredients
The base of this rosé slushie drink is super simple, it uses the following:
- Your favorite rosé wine
- Frozen strawberries
- Lemon juice
- Ice
- You can also add some sugar if you prefer
Picking the best rosé for frosé
Choosing the right wine for frozen rosé is merely a matter of personal taste. You obviously need to use a rosé wine, since you are making a rosé slushie, but the actual brand is a personal preference.
I like a light fruit flavor but on the drier side and not too sweet. However there are options that range from rich, full bodied, and sweet all the way to dry, light and tangy.

Variations
Once you know how to make frozen rosé slushies you can mix it up with different flavors. While I love the simplicity of this recipe, you can adjust the ingredients if you get bored! The easiest way is adding different kinds of fruit. Here are some that would be delicious:
- Mango
- Peaches
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Pineapple
- Watermelon
Or another way to change this up is to add liquor to the base recipe. I’d recommend an ounce of vodka per serving. But rum or tequila can work too.
Tips for freezing fruit
If you want to use fresh fruit to make this frozen rosé wine slushie you’ll need to freeze it first. Here’s how to do it:
- Line a plate or cookie sheet (make sure it fits in your freezer!) with parchment paper.
- Cut the fruit into pieces appropriately 1 inch big.
- Arrange the cut fruit in a single layer on the parchment paper and freeze for 2 hours.
- Once it’s frozen you can transfer it to an airtight freezer safe container until you are ready to blend.
Storage Suggestions
This frosé drink recipe makes about 4 servings so you’ll want to cut in half if you aren’t drinking it all.
- You can also keep the leftovers in the freezer if you’ll be drinking a second round within the hour. The alcohol will prevent it from freezing solid that quickly.
- For longer storage pour the frozen rosé in ice cube trays and freeze. Once they are solid, transfer to an airtight freezer safe container to prevent freezer burn.
- When you are ready to serve, return the cubes to a blender and blend.

Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this frozen rose drink recipe is to use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones. They create a naturally thick icy texture without watering down the drink. Every glass stays smooth, crisp, and flavorful until the last sip.
- Chill the wine: I like to refrigerate the rose for a few hours before blending. Starting with cold wine helps the frose stay frosty for longer.
- Taste first: Every bottle of rose is different, so I blend the drink before deciding if it needs sugar. A sweeter wine or ripe strawberries may not require additional sweetener at all.
- Add liquids first: If my blender struggles with frozen fruit, I add the liquids first, then gradually add the strawberries and ice as I blend. This creates a smooth consistency without overworking the blender.
- Serve immediately: Frose is best straight from the blender. If it sits too long, the ice starts melting, and the drink becomes thinner and separates.
- Use fresh lemon juice: I always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a cleaner flavor, as bottled juice has a tendency to taste bitter and be overpowering.
