RECIPE: Raspberry Frose Summer Cocktail

THE HISTORY OF FROSÉ

A Frosé, a frozen rosé cocktail (more technically, a winetail) can be as simple as a mixture of chilled rosé wine with a scoop of strawberry or lemon sorbet.

It’s easy to make at home. You can:

  • MIX different flavors of sorbet.
  • MAKE a Frosé into dessert by adding more sorbet and less wine.
  • CREATE your own recipe, with optional fresh lemon or lime juice and/or zest; puréed fruit; liqueur, gin/tequila/vodka; cranberry or pomegranate juice; simple syrup, etc.
  •  
    Want it really frozen?

  • FREEZE the wine in an ice cube tray, then pulse the cubes in a blender or food processor until it becomes the texture of a granita.
  • ADD the granita to a glass with as much chilled rosé as you like, and for sweetness, add simple syrup or top it off with sorbet.
  •  
    But the original Frosé was quite different.

    It was made in a frozen drink machine and had the texture of a frozen Margarita.

    The frozen wine cocktail was created in the summer of 2016, at Bar Primi, a bar and restaurant in New York City. Rosé was the wine of choice.

    The venue had a frozen drink machine, which led to curiosity about what would happen if rosé were poured into it.

    After working on the recipe, Bar Primi created a version that included sweet vermouth and strawberries. It was a huge hit.

    Word spread and other mixologists created their own versions.

    No sorbet was used. Sorbet came later, as a technique to get a slushy drink at home.
     
    Use The Right Rosé

    The following recipe (photo #1) from Discover California Wines, adds raspberries for a Raspberry Frosé. We have additional Frosé recipes below.

    There are many delicious California rosés, but don’t use a bone-dry rosé. Ask the wine store clerk for something with a hint of sweetness. It will go better with the fruit and sorbet.

    WHAT IS ROSÉ WINE?

    Also referred to as blush wine, rosé can be made as a still, semi-still, or sparkling wine.

    Still rosé wines can be made from almost any red grape varietal, or from a blend of varietals. Sparkling rosé wines, including rosé Champagne, are exceptions because they also can be made with white grapes.

    The wines get their rosy color from contact with the red grape skins. Depending on the grape, terroir, and winemaking techniques, the color can range from the palest pink to deep ruby red to hues of orange or violet.
