Strawberry Frosé Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- Blender: A powerful blender is essential for a smooth texture. It helps to perfectly blend the frozen strawberries and the rosé.
- Measuring Cups: Accurate measurements ensure the best taste. These help to portion out the strawberries, wine, and any other ingredients you might add.
- Freezer-Safe Container: You’ll need this to chill your rosé before blending. It’s key to achieving a slushy consistency. A simple baking dish works fine since it allows the wine to freeze more uniformly.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of Rosé wine: Choose a rosé that you like drinking. This will be the base taste for your cocktail.
- 1 cup of Frozen strawberries: These add flavor and help with the drink’s icy texture.
- 1/4 cup Sugar: Sweetness can be adjusted based on your preference.
- 1/4 cup Lemon juice: This adds a tangy kick.
- Ice cubes: To help thicken and chill the drink.
Start by gathering all the ingredients. Having everything ready makes the process seamless and enjoyable. 😊
Instructions
- Chill the Rosé: Pour the bottle of rosé into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 6 hours or until almost solid.
- Blend: In a blender, combine the frozen rosé, frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a handful of ice cubes.
- Blend until Smooth: Mix until you reach a smooth consistency. If it’s too thick, add more wine or a bit of water.
- Serve: Pour into chilled glasses and enjoy immediately. 🍷
Feel free to adjust the sweetness based on your personal taste. The steps are simple, so anyone can make an amazing frosé right at home.

Tasting Notes
The Strawberry Frosé Cocktail is a perfect blend of flavors that makes me smile with every sip. 🍓
The sweetness of fresh strawberries is the star of the show. They add a juicy, fruity kick that’s just right. I love how the taste balances with the rosé wine.
The rosé gives it a light, crisp finish. The wine’s subtle acidity mingles beautifully with the strawberries, adding a pleasant zing. It’s a fresh and bright experience that’s both refreshing and delightful.
I also notice a touch of citrus. This hint adds a zesty note that lifts the drink altogether. It’s like a splash of sunshine in a glass. ☀️
Substitute

Instead of using rosé wine, you could try:

- Red wine for a richer flavor
- Sparkling wine to make it fizz
If you want to replace strawberries, think about these:

Don’t have simple syrup? Try:
- Honey or agave for natural sweetness 🌿

Tips & Tricks
Hey there! Ready to make your strawberry frosé cocktail even better? 🍓 Let’s dive into some awesome tips.
1. Choose Fresh Strawberries:
Fresh, ripe strawberries make all the difference! 🍓 I look for bright red berries without any mushy spots. If they’re out of season, frozen strawberries work too. Just make sure to thaw them first.
2. Use a Quality Rosé:
I prefer a dry rosé for balance. A sweeter wine can make the cocktail too sugary. Pick one that you’d enjoy drinking on its own.
3. Prep Your Strawberries:
Hull the strawberries to remove the green tops. This helps the purée to be extra smooth. Blend them until they’re silky, then strain if you like a smoother drink.
4. Add a Hint of Lemon:
A squeeze of lemon juice brightens up the flavors! 🍋 I use freshly squeezed lemon for the best taste.
5. Sweeten to Taste:
Start with a smaller amount of sugar or syrup. I often find that a little goes a long way. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out.
6. Freeze in Advance:
Freezing the wine in ice cube trays speeds up the chilling process and makes sure it’s perfect for blending.
