Why This is The Best Recipe for Strawberry Frosé Slushies!
What makes this wine slushy so delicious is the flavors of the wine and the fruit are balanced by sweetness and acidity. Triple sec adds sweetness and the flavor of oranges that keep this slushy from tasting "winey". Adding simple syrup compensates for the very cold temperature and lemon juice adds bright acidity to make you say "wow!" with every sip.
Now, I know what you are thinking! Why does this wine slushy have five ingredients? Do I really need that many? After all, many frosé and wine slushy recipes have only 2 or 3 ingredients. Which means the recipe is just wine, frozen fruit or ice, and maybe some fruit juice.
But that is the "gotcha"!... and why a wine slushy is sometimes disappointing! The fruit must be perfectly sweet and the wine must be an exceptional pairing with the fruit.
In short, a two-ingredient wine slushy can taste "winey" and lack depth. Which is why adding a little sweetness and a squeeze of lemon puts these frosé slushies over the top in taste.
But wait... there's more! Adding a liqueur like Triple Sec is the secret to wine slushies that don't freeze solid when you store them in the freezer.
So..... let's make some wine slushies!
Pro Tip to Adjust Sweetness
The fruit may be less sweet. After blending the slushies, use a teaspoon and take a quick taste of the slushy. If needed, add more simple syrup and reblend to get the perfect amount of sweetness.
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
Here's what you need to make Strawberry Frosé Slushies:
- Pink Moscato Rosé Wine - A sweet rosé is best for this drink. The best choices for this frosé are very sweet wines like pink moscato, pink riesling, or a berry flavor infused pink rosé. Other good choices are slightly less sweet wines like a white zinfandel or a white merlot and yes all of these wines are pink too, even though they are "white".
- Triple Sec Liqueur - Triple sec is a sweet, clear, orange flavored liqueur which will add dimension to this frozen wine cocktail. However, it is important not to add too much.
- Frozen Strawberries - Frozen strawberries usually are picked at their peak flavor and then quickly frozen. Using frozen fruit instead of ice gives the very best fruity flavor.
- Lemon Juice - Lemon juice is excellent for adding acidity to a dish, sauce, or drink which can brighten the flavor of food.
- Simple Syrup - Simple syrup is a sweet liquid made from sugar and water that are simmered just until a clear liquid is formed. The syrup can then be cooled and stored to sweeten beverages and foods. Honey makes a terrific substitution for simple syrup. I like orange blossom honey, which tastes fantastic in this slushy.
- Fresh Strawberries (for Garnish) - Just one lovely fresh strawberry makes an elegant garnish for this frozen drink. But if you don't have any fresh strawberries, you can use a small cocktail paper umbrella or just serve it with a pretty straw.
Please see the recipe card for the exact quantities.
How to Make The Best Strawberry Rosé Slushies
Step 1 - Add Ingredients to Blender. In a blender add the frozen strawberries, rosé wine, simple syrup, Triple Sec liqueur, and the lemon juice.
Step 2 - Blend. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth. Give the mixture a quick taste and, if needed, add more simple syrup and re-blend.
Step 3 - Serve & Enjoy. Pour the slushies into glasses and garnish with fresh strawberries as desired.
My Top 3 Tips for Making Frozen Drinks
♡ Use Frozen Fruit - Using frozen fruit will give your drink an extra boost of flavor. You can also freeze fruit juice into ice cubes. Only use plain ice when you need to dilute the alcohol in a drink.
♡ Use Simple Syrup - You may be tempted to leave out the simple syrup in this recipe, especially if you typically enjoy less sweet drinks. But, adding sweetness gives balance to the flavor because our taste buds do not easily recognize "sweet" when the food is too cold. This is why sweeter slushies are so delicious. As they partially melt, they taste both sweet and refreshing!
♡ Add Acidity - Just like for many sauces and dishes, a squeeze of lemon juice will add acid and balance to the flavor of a frozen drink. In place of lemon juice use any other citrus fruit juice, or even pineapple juice to balance the flavors.
Make-Ahead & Storage
Frosé slushies can be made in advance and stored in a zip lock bag in the freezer. When ready to serve, thaw the slushy mixture for a few minutes at room temperature before serving. Massage the zip lock bag, cut a corner from the bag, and squeeze the frosé directly into glasses or cups.
More Flavors of Wine Slushies to Try
I think pink Moscato with its general profile of peach and apricot notes with hints of cherry and berry, makes it a great choice for most wine slushies. But if you are craving a different summer fruit, here are a few substitutions and variations to try:
| Fruit | Wine | Liqueur |
|---|---|---|
| Cherries | Pink Moscato | Amaretto |
| Peaches | Sweet Riesling | Peach Schnapps |
| Watermelon | Any White Wine | Patron Citronge Lime |
Nothing is more refreshing on a hot day than a sweet & fruity frozen drink and this strawberry frosé is exactly what I crave. It is not too sweet and tastes like being on vacation.
