My First Frosé Encounter
I'll never forget the first time I tried frosé. It was a brutally hot summer day and I was eating outdoors that evening. After contemplating way too long over the cocktail menu, as I normally do, I decided to go with what seemed like the only logical choice, a frozen drink. The waiter came back with a sparkling glass of slushy pink strawberry frosé and placed it directly in front of me. I was instantly enamored.
What is Frosé?
Frosé is simply frozen rosé wine. It's usually mixed with strawberry puree. Since becoming a national trend a few years ago, there have been endless variations of this drink. Many recipes call for freezing the wine, making a strawberry flavored simple syrup, straining it then refreezing again. But for anyone who requires instant gratification like me, I figured there had to be a more simple and direct method.
How To Make A Quick Strawberry Frosé
The key to getting a slushy consistency without waiting around for the wine to freeze, is to use frozen strawberries.
The strawberries are added together with a good quality chilled rosé wine in a blender. This Cantina Zaccagnini rosé was a great pick and is a delicious well balanced wine. It needed just a hint of liquid cane sugar to counteract the tartness of the strawberries. If you have any frozen, in-season, ripe strawberries tucked away, they may be sweet enough that you can skip this step altogether.
Of course, no cocktail would be complete without a beautiful garnish. I like to cut up a few strawberries and slice them in the center to add to the rim of the wine glass. You could also garnish with a sprig of mint.
