Frosé Wine Slushies
I’m not usually one to fall in line immediately to food trends, and my appreciate of a frosé has certainly taken me some time. Now that I live in a HOT place, however, I have a true appreciate for wine slushies, so hear me out (and see how easy these frozen wine slushies are to make).

Frosé Wine Slushies
Frosé is the made of word for a frozen rosé wine. And while this recipe is with rosé wine, you can use this general idea for wine slushies with any varietal. Besides being a great summer wine, however, rosés also have that beautiful blush color.
If you know that you should only cook with wine you’d actually want to drink, imagine the same to be true for a wine slushie. It’s may be a tamer flavor, but the flavor is still the same. I fell in love with French rosés on our honeymoon in Southern France. And I, foolishly, thought I’d love all rosés…until I had some a few years ago that were TERRIBLE. And I don’t use that word lightly. So, I’ll reiterate – use a yummy rosé in your wine slushies!
I’m actually a huge fan of iced of frozen wine in the summer – for two reasons. First, it’s refreshingly delicious – yay! I love a chilled white or rosé wine in the summer, and ice helps keep it chilled even in the heat.
Second, and this is actually maybe more important, the ice dilutes the alcohol content and helps keeps you slightly more hydrated. This is a big one for me in the heat. It’s easy to forget how dehydrating heat can be. Mix wine with an outdoor pool party and you’ll be cute (not the good kind) before long. So the iced helps you stay a bit more hydrated while still enjoying a yummy sip.
These frose wine slushies come together quickly, but they must be made right before serving. These photos show wine slushies in stemmed wine glasses. If you’re serving these outside, I’d opt for stemless glasses. And if you’re with kids or at the pool, I do recommend plastic glasses.

I have a sparkling rose, do you think I could use it for this recipe? Would you then reduce/omit the soda water?
Yep! Sparkling rose should be fine. I’m not sure of the exact bubble ratio, so I’d just watch out for leaving plenty of room in the blender in case it fizzes extra! xo, Luci
