The popular spring and summer cocktail, “frosé” (frozen rosé), was born at Bar Primi in New York City in 2016. Since then, variations of the drink have popped up all over the internet. Today I’m excited to share an easy frosé recipe made with Caposaldo Rosé that will be a hit at your next luncheon or party. It only has three ingredients and isn’t too sweet!
About Caposaldo Rosé
This rosé, imported from Veneto in Northern Italy, is a light wine that isn’t too sweet. There are fresh, fruity, and floral notes. My favorite part about it is that it so versatile! It makes for the perfect rosé to use for frosé. But it also pairs well with burgers at a backyard BBQ or with light spring appetizers. Basically, it can be dressed up or down!

Something very important to mention in this recipe is that while it is easy, it does take a while. You’ll need 6.5 hours, so this isn’t for the last minute Charlies out there. I recommend prepping the night before you need it, popping it in the freezer and coming back to it later.
Let’s start with the ingredients for how to make frosé – rosé, fresh strawberries, and honey. I chose the Caposaldo Rosé that is light and springy (click the link for where to buy locally!). For strawberries, fresh are easier to blend. However, if you have frozen that can work too. I like to pick up local honey (one of my favorites is Pure Honey from Winters, CA).
You’ll need measuring spoons, a measuring cup, blender, and baking pan. Set aside 2/3 cup of rosé for serving, and cut the strawberries in half before blending them all together.
Once you’ve combined the strawberries, rosé, and honey until smooth, you’ll need to strain it into the baking pan. Ideally you’ll have a bigger strainer than mine to speed up the process.
Place the mixture in the freezer for 6 hours (overnight works too). You’ll know it’s frozen when you tap it with a spoon and it’s hard. Use a spoon to break it apart and add it back into the blender. You’ll want to blend until it has a slushy quality.
At the end, pour the slushy into a glass and top with the frosé that you set aside. For some added glam, garnish with a strawberry.
