Summer parties need refreshing drinks that look great and taste amazing. This pretty pink frozen cocktail combines sweet strawberries with crisp rosé wine for the perfect warm-weather sipper.

The Strawberry Rosé Slushie takes just 5 minutes to make in a blender. You only need frozen strawberries, rosé wine, simple syrup, and ice.

The bright red berries and pale pink wine create a beautiful gradient effect when the drink starts to melt. The cocktail stays frosty longer than regular frozen drinks thanks to the alcohol content of the wine and the natural pectin in strawberries.

This drink works well for both casual backyard gatherings and fancier outdoor events. The recipe can be scaled up to make a big batch for parties or scaled down for just two servings. Guests can garnish their glasses with fresh strawberries and mint leaves for an extra special touch.

Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups frozen strawberries
1 bottle 750ml rosé wine, chilled
2 tablespoons simple syrup
1 cup ice cubes
Fresh strawberries for garnish
Optional add-ins:
1 ounce vodka per serving
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Pour half the bottle of rosé into ice cube trays. Freeze for 4-6 hours until solid.
Add frozen strawberries, rosé ice cubes, and remaining liquid rosé to a blender.

Pour in simple syrup and regular ice cubes.
Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth.
Pour mixture into wine glasses.

Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint if desired.

Notes

The texture can be adjusted by adding more ice for a thicker slushie or more liquid rosé for a thinner drink.

Make sure to use a dry rosé wine rather than sweet varieties to balance the natural sweetness of the strawberries.

The mixture may separate after sitting. Give it a quick stir before drinking.

Store any leftover mixture in the freezer for up to 2 days. Let it thaw slightly and re-blend before serving.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rosé with sparkling grape juice or strawberry juice.

Tasting Notes

This strawberry rosé slushie delivers a bright, sweet-tart flavor profile. Fresh strawberries shine through with their natural sweetness, while the rosé wine adds crisp, fruity notes.

The texture is smooth and icy, perfect for hot summer days. Each sip starts with intense strawberry flavor followed by subtle hints of citrus from the lemon juice.

Key flavor elements:

Sweet ripe strawberries
Crisp rosé wine
Fresh lemon brightness
Light floral undertones

The drink maintains a balanced sweetness level. The natural fruit sugars blend with the wine’s dry character to create a refreshing cocktail that’s not too sweet.

Temperature plays an important role in the taste experience. The slushie should be served at peak frozen consistency – similar to a snow cone texture. As it melts, the flavors become more pronounced.

The pale pink color matches the light, refreshing taste profile. Garnishing with fresh strawberry slices or mint leaves adds visual appeal and complementary aromatics to each serving.

Best serving temperature: 28-30°F (-2 to -1°C)
