Frosé is the perfect hybrid between cocktail and dessert. It’s essentially just frozen wine slush, but when the temperatures outside are only increasing, it’s time to get creative about cooling down. And that’s our favorite part about this ultimate frosé recipe! The ingredients are pretty simple—just rosé wine, strawberries, lemon juice and simple syrup—but the result is something uniquely refreshing.
This is the perfect drink to make for a crowd, so if you’re hosting friends for a backyard barbecue, why not wow them by heading outside, making pizza on the grill and cooling down with this sophisticated version of an adult slushy.
We’ve made the art of frosé (yes, it’s an art!) easy with these few short steps.
