Directions
1. To make the strawberry frosé: Pour rosé into a 13×9 inch pan and freeze until almost solid, about 6 hours–don’t worry, it won’t completely set, due to the alcohol content.
2. In the meantime, bring sugar and ½ cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Add hulled and quartered strawberries, remove from heat, and let sit 30 minutes to infuse the syrup with strawberry flavor. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl–do not press on solids to keep the syrup clear. Cover the syrup and chill until cold, about 30 minutes.
3. Using a fork, scrape the rosé into a blender. Add lemon juice, 3½ ounces of the strawberry syrup, and 1 cup crushed ice and purée until smooth. Transfer the blender container to your freezer and freeze until the frosé is thickened, 25 to 35 minutes.
4. Finally, blend again until the strawberry frosé is slushy. Divide among glasses and garnish with a slice of strawberry. Enjoy! 🥂❤️

Tips for the Strawberry Frosé recipe
- The Rosé can be frozen 1 week ahead, so you don’t have to rush at the last minute.
- Depending on the sweetness of the rosé, you can add more syrup to the blender. Just blend it in, one spoonful at a time, until your frosé tastes just right.
What type of rosé should we use for the frosé recipe?
Choose a full-flavored, full-bodied, dark-colored rosé for freezing. It will lose some of its color and will be a bit diluted after freezing and blending; you want something that can hold its own. But more importantly, use a wine that you enjoy. In Frosé, the flavor of the wine needs to shine through!
