Frosé

Turn your favorite pink wine into the frozen cocktail of the summer—this frosé is fruity, frosty, and goes down way too easy.
Okay, summer cocktail lovers—let’s talk frozen rosé, aka frosé! I’ve sipped this refreshing pink drink in all kinds of places: a trendy rooftop pool bar in Austin where my son goes to college, a charming wine bar in Key West on a girls’ trip, and of course, right in my own backyard.
The ingredients vary a bit from place to place, but the basics stay the same: rosé wine, vodka, a splash of something like peach schnapps or Grand Marnier, and frozen fruit. Add a little sugar, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some ice, and you’ve got yourself a grown-up slushie that’s hard not to love.
“This is amazing, super delish and easy to throw together, total crowd pleaser!”
What You’ll Need To Make Frosé
While most frosé recipes call for frozen strawberries, I prefer using frozen peaches and cherries. Peaches add velvety sweetness, cherries bring a little tartness and a gorgeous pink hue—and since both are seedless, there’s no need to strain. You can also find them pre-frozen at just about any supermarket, so prep is a breeze.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Add the vodka, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and sugar to a high-powered blender. Cover and purée for 15 seconds to dissolve the sugar.
Add the peaches, cherries, rosé, and 2 cups of the ice.
Cover and purée until smooth. Taste and add more sugar or alcohol if desired and test the consistency. If you would like it slushier, add the remaining ice and blend again. If you would like it thinner, add a bit more rosé.
Pour the frosé into glasses and serve immediately. Frosé is best made right before serving but, due to the alcohol content, it won’t completely solidify in the freezer. If you have any left over, feel free to pop it in the freezer. Before serving, let it thaw briefly, give it another whirl in the blender, and you’re all set to enjoy.

Just made these last night and, as usual, everyone loved them!!!! You can mix together the ingredients other than the fruit in a jar and keep it in the freezer until you are ready to make them and it’s super easy to throw everything in the blender and have an instant party! My only suggestion is to double the recipe as most peeps will want more than one!
Would this work with prosecco instead of rose? How would the taste differ? Could you make it ahead of time and freeze it? Thanks!
Hi Laurie, prosecco should work. Just keep in mind that it will taste slightly different and introduce some effervescence. I don’t recommend making the whole thing ahead and freezing it, though.
These are the BOMB. This is the second time I have made them and they are so easy and impressive.. The peaches/cherries are the best combination. Great recipe. I will be serving these again at an upcoming dinner party. With other of YOUR recipes. Thanks again!!
Couldn’t find frozen peaches so used mangoes and cherries… Their comments ? “This beat expectations and was better than a pina colada for a 95 degree day”! That’s quite the commendation since pina coladas are their favorite hot weather drinks. Thanks! Simple and quite delightful.
This is amazing, super delish and easy to throw together, total crowd pleaser!
These sound delish and while I’m a big fan of peaches my fiancé is not… and he’s even from the south…!
Any thoughts on what I could use instead of peaches? I think I can get away with the schnapps but not the fruit. Thanks! Always love your recipes.
Hi Ashlee, you really can’t taste the peaches much in this. The peach schnapps has a stronger flavor so I’d use the orange liqueur instead of the schnapps. If you really want to avoid using peaches, you can replace them with strawberries, (but you’ll need to contend with the seeds unless you have a very high powered blender). I’d love to hear how they turn out!
Great to know and thanks for the reply. I may try your suggestion and switch the liquor to orange as I am allergic to strawberries and we will test if he can taste the peaches. If he can, I guess there will be more for me 😉 haha! Will let you know. Thanks!
Someone who commented used mango instead and said they were a hit!
Yum! After a very hot Dallas day and a flat tire, this was perfect. Thank you for a fun recipe that restored our sense of humor. I didn’t have vodka, and we enjoyed this without.
What do you think about swapping vodka for gin?
Hi Debbie, It should work. Please LMK how it turns out!
Looks delicious! Would it work without the vodka?
Yep just add more rosé!
Can I not use the vodka?
Hi Sue, It’s fine to leave out the vodka – just replace it with more wine.
Hi Jenn,
Would tequila or Bacardi with here? I don’t like vodka.
BTW- I made your pina colada last week and it was a big hit. Love it. I just came back from Peurto Rico and their pina colada is nothing like yours-they use whole milk, Don Q rum and coconut liqueur. Didn’t like it at all. Yours Rock!!! Thanks Jenn
Hi Janelle, Yes you could use either of those here. So glad you enjoyed the piña coladas!
