Whirl up some frosé, the ultimate summer sip that transforms classic rosé into a frosty, grown-up slushie!
Okay, summer cocktail lovers, let’s talk frozen rosé, aka frosé! I’ve sipped on this refreshing pink drink in all sorts of places: a trendy rooftop pool bar in Austin where my son attends college, a quaint wine bar in Key West during an unforgettable girls’ trip, and in the comfort of my own backyard, to name just a few. Each iteration varies slightly, but the core ingredients are pretty straightforward: rosé wine, vodka, a splash of flavored liqueur like peach schnapps or Grand Marnier, and frozen fruit. Add to that a bit of sugar, a squeeze of lemon juice, and ice, and you have yourself what can best be described as a grown-up slushie.
What You’ll Need To Make Frosé
While most frosé recipes call for frozen strawberries, I prefer to use frozen peaches and cherries. Apart from their distinct textures and flavors — with peaches adding velvety sweetness and cherries lending tartness and a beautiful pink shade — using seedless fruits eliminates the need for straining. Plus, you can easily find both fruits pre-frozen at the supermarket, making your prep work 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 puree 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 into glasses and serve immediately. Note: 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.

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. 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!!!
