This Summer Frosè is the perfect cocktail to celebrate the long holiday weekend and the start of summer. It’s sweet, tangy and refreshing. Make sure to check out my recipe notes for the instructions as well as a mocktail version.

Why You’ll Love This Frosé

Nothing screams summer quite like a chilled glass of frosé. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up this icy, fruity concoction that keeps you cool and satisfied through every heatwave. Frosé always brings me back to New York City brunches — where one drink turned into an after-party, and then another. It’s a cocktail that feels like a celebration.

Frosè will always remind me of summer brunches & NYC happy hours. I had my first frosè when I lived in NYC and instantly fell in love. The brunch turned into an after party and then another party. So many fun memories. Naturally, as summer returns each year, I have to create one of my all-time favorite frozen cocktails, savoring its tasty blend of flavors and the refreshing vibe it brings.

Not only is it refreshing and tastes great. It’s super easy to make.

Frosè- also known as a frozen rosé cocktail, has gained popularity in recent years, especially during the summer season. Its refreshing and fruity nature makes it the perfect cocktail for summer.

Frosè is typically made by blending rosé wine with frozen fruit, such as strawberries, watermelon or peaches, and adding a touch of sweetness with simple syrup or sugar. The mixture is blended until it reaches a slushy consistency. The result is a fruity icy concoction with a delightful wine flavor.

How to Serve

When it comes to serving cocktails, II’m big on doing the most. I love to bust out my good glassware, and a nice garnish. Seriously, I take my garnishes very seriously haha. As simple as a garnish may be, they’re not just decorative elements; they can elevate the taste and aroma of the drink.

I recommend:

• Chilled Coupe or Stemless Wine Glasses
• Fresh mint or basil
• A sugared rim for a little sparkle

Make It a Mocktail

Want to keep it booze-free? Use a non-alcoholic rosé — brands like Fre Wines make a great option. Still fruity, still fancy, still perfect for summer.
