Equipment

Ingredients

1 750 ml bottle rosé wine
2 cups fresh strawberries hulled
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh strawberries for garnish optional

Instructions

Pour the rosé wine into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Add frozen rosé cubes to a blender with fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

Blend until smooth and slushy. Add regular ice cubes if needed to reach desired consistency.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any strawberry seeds.
Serve the frosé in chilled wine glasses.

Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

Make sure to use a dry rosé wine for the best results.

The mixture might separate after sitting. Just give it a quick stir before drinking.

Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 24 hours.

The drink will be quite strong at first, so let it melt slightly for better flavor balance.

You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your strawberries and wine.

Tasting Notes

Frosé brings a refreshing mix of sweet and tart flavors. The frozen rosé wine adds bright notes of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus.

The added fresh berries boost the natural fruit flavors. Meanwhile, a hint of lemon juice cuts through the sweetness with a pleasant zip of acidity.

Sugar syrup rounds out the drink’s profile by softening any harsh edges. The texture is smooth and slushy, similar to a frozen smoothie or granita.

Temperature plays a key role in the taste. When properly frozen, the cocktail stays cold without becoming too icy or watery. The ideal serving temperature is around 25°F (-4°C).

Flavor Profile:

Primary: Sweet strawberry, raspberry
Secondary: Citrus, stone fruit
Finish: Clean, crisp, slightly dry

The drink’s pink color matches its fruity character. As it melts, the flavors become more wine-forward while maintaining their balance.
