Strawberry Frosé Drink: The Ultimate Refreshing Summer Cocktail Recipe

Enjoy a refreshing Strawberry Frosé, a perfect summer slushy drink made with dry rosé wine, fresh strawberries, simple syrup, and lemon juice. Ideal for gatherings or a relaxing day at home, this delightful treat is best served chilled and garnished with fresh strawberries and mint.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750ml) of dry rosé wine
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Fresh strawberries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Choose Your Rosé: Select a dry rosé wine that you enjoy. A Provence rosé is recommended for its crispness.
  2. Chill the Wine: Refrigerate the bottle of rosé for at least 2 hours before making your Frosé.
  3. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, slicing them into halves or quarters.
  4. Make the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of water. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves (about 2-3 minutes). Let cool to room temperature.
  5. Blend the Frosé: In a blender, combine the chilled rosé, sliced strawberries, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and ice cubes. Blend on high until smooth and slushy (30-60 seconds).
  6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the Frosé and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup or tartness with more lemon juice, blending briefly to mix.
  7. Prepare Your Glasses: Chill glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before serving.
  8. Pour the Frosé: Pour the blended Frosé into the prepared glasses.
  9. Garnish: Garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry and a sprig of mint.
  10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Frosé right after blending for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Pairing Suggestions: This drink pairs well with light appetizers like bruschetta, cheese platters, or fresh salads.
  • Storing Leftovers: Store any leftovers in the freezer, but note that the texture may change once thawed.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try adding other fruits like peaches or raspberries for a twist.
  • Alcohol-Free Version: Substitute rosé with sparkling grape juice or non-alcoholic wine for a non-alcoholic option.
