Easy Homemade Strawberry Frosé Recipe
This Strawberry Frosé is a wonderfully cold and refreshing slushy cocktail, like sunshine in a glass. It's ridiculously easy to whip up in just minutes using a blender, making it the ultimate simple pleasure for perfect summer days.
Equipment
- Blender
- Fine-mesh sieve
- Container (bowl or pitcher)
Ingredients
- Frozen Strawberries
- Chilled Rosé Wine A dry rosé works best
- Granulated Sugar Adjust to taste
- 2 cups Ice To start, add more if needed
- Sliced Strawberries For garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Grab your trusty blender. Add the frozen strawberries, the chilled rosé wine, and the granulated sugar. Blend it up until everything is completely smooth, with absolutely no chunks of strawberry left.
- Step 2: Place a fine-mesh sieve over a clean container (a bowl or another pitcher). Pour the blended mixture through the sieve. Use a spoon or spatula to gently press down on the solids left in the sieve to extract liquid. Discard whatever is left in the sieve.
- Step 3: Pour that beautiful, strained mixture back into the blender. Add about 2 cups of ice to start. Blend again until it transforms into a gorgeous, frosty slushy. If you like it thicker, add a little more ice, a handful at a time, and keep blending until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Step 4: Pour this amazing Frosé into glasses. Add a little slice of fresh strawberry to the rim or popped into the glass for garnish. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen fruit for the best slushy texture; fresh will be too liquidy. Chill the wine beforehand. Don't skip straining for a smooth texture. Blend fruit/wine/sugar first before adding ice. Adjust ice gradually for desired thickness.
Feel free to swap strawberries for other frozen berries or peaches. A dry rosé is best, but other wines like Moscato or Pinot Grigio could work (adjust sugar). Adjust sugar to taste; simple syrup or agave can be used. For an extra kick, add 1-1.5 oz of vodka, rum, or strawberry liqueur before the final blend with ice. A squeeze of lemon or lime juice adds brightness.
Frosé is best served immediately. Leftovers can be frozen in an airtight container. Re-blend with a splash of rosé or water to regain slushy texture.
