Everyone, meet your new, go-to summer drink – Boozy Frosé. Boozy Frosé, meet everyone.
“Hiiii Boozy Frosé!”
Now that introductions are out of the way, ummm, you guys – BOOZY FROSÉ! Ok, ok – let me back up. What the heck is Frosé? Lightly sweetened frozen Rosé wine. What makes it boozy? Vodka. Who’s going to love it? EVERYONE!
Watch How to Make It!
Like pretty much everything in my life, I’m a year+ behind the times in terms of trends – drink trends, in this case. Frosé became an internet sensation a few summers but it’s just now being cranked out in my Iowa kitchen. Story of my life. That said, we’re going with “better late than never” here – emphasis on BETTER since hello! Vodka! – because this simple, 3-ingredient cocktail recipe has been blended up a bunch of times at my house over the past few weeks and there’s no end in sight.
What to know about Boozy Frosé
- It’s easy. Freeze wine then blend with vodka and strawberry simple syrup. Boom.
- It’s wine-based. If you don’t like Rosé wine, you probably won’t like Boozy Frosé. If you DO like wine (my people,) you will love this cocktail.
- It’s NOT sweet. Although it looks like some sort of daiquiri or margarita, this frozen cocktail is essentially just blended frozen wine and vodka.
Who’s thirsty?
How to Make Boozy Frosé
One thing you need to do is plan ahead for these babies. The night before you want to enjoy Boozy Frosé, pour 1 bottle Rosé wine into a gallon Ziplock bag set inside a dish (in case of leaks,) and freeze overnight. Because of the alcohol in the wine, it will not freeze solid. Also, look for a Rosé that’s darker in color as wine tends to lose a little bit of flavor once frozen.
Next make the strawberry simple syrup. In a mason jar (or glass bowl or saucepan,) combine 1/2 cup each water and sugar then microwave until bubbling, 1-1/2 minutes. Stir until the sugar has dissolved then carefully add 1 cup chopped strawberries and refrigerate overnight. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, and voila – strawberry simple syrup!
Time to drink! Add the frozen wine to a blender with 1/4 cup vodka plus 4 Tablespoons strawberry simple syrup (or more or less.) Blend until smooth then taste and add more simple syrup if desired. Note: once the Frosé starts to melt the sweetness intensifies, plus the sweetness intensifies once you’ve had a drink, so add more syrup sparingly.
Pour into glasses, stick a straw inside, and get to sippin’, my friend! I hope you love this fun and frosty frozen cocktail – enjoy!

It’s better to use frozen strawberries! That way you don’t have to worry about freezing the rose
Paige Bership 06.15.2018
This is SO STRONG! Is there a way to make it taste less toxic?
Kristin 07.05.2018
You could add more ice or rose, or fresh/frozen strawberries!

Hi! I’m making a frose kit for my cousin who loves it. I’m giving her a bottle each of rose and vodka and i’m planning on putting the strawberry syrup in a cute little bottle. My question is, how long does the strawberry syrup stay good for in an airtight container? Does it all have to be used right away, if not how is it stored?
Kristin 10.02.2017
Hi Taylor! If refrigerated it will stay good for a month or even longer. It does need to remain refrigerated though.

This sounds delish!! I think I will try with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Strawberry is my least favorite ‘berry’!
Sara @ The Ravenous Housewife 05.28.2017

That’s what I used too. :)
Ellie 05.26.2017
I didn’t want to wait for everything to freeze/chill overnight so I threw all the chilled ingredients is my cuisinart ice cream maker and turned it on for 30-40 minutes. Success! Frosé ina flash!

What rose wine did you use? I love wine but neve drink rose and need to go get that. This drink looks really good. Thanks for sharing
Kristin 05.26.2017
I’ve used both Cline Rosé and St Supery Rosé – both were delicious in this drink!
Nora 05.26.2017
Sounds like a winner – will have to make this for our 4th of July bash!!
Kristin 05.26.2017
I hope you love it, Nora!
Kristi 05.26.2017
Such a fun idea! Question – could the vodka be swapped out for something else? I’m not a huge fan of it…
Kristin 05.26.2017
Hi Kristi! I didn’t test anything other than vodka so I can’t say for sure. You could always just do plain Frose by blending frozen Rose wine + the simple syrup!
Colleen Maciag 05.28.2017
My sister and I just tried this with vodka then tried gin. The gin is amazing!!
Kristin 05.30.2017
Awesome!! I’ll try it – we always have gin on hand for martinis!
