Not to sound boring or anything, but I almost can’t turn down a glass of a good frosé slushie.

Have you tried it?! It’s literally just rosé in slushie or granita form, but it’s so refreshing and such a fun way to enjoy a drink.

There’s a restaurant in Modesto that serves a really great frosé, but I kind of wanted to try to make it at home. And as luck would have it, it’s so simple you could do it with your eyes closed.

All you need is one of these beauties! Here’s how to make an easy frosé recipe with an ice cream maker!

Making Frosé with an Ice Cream Maker

Honestly, once you get the hang of this, I have a feeling it’s going to become a go-to cocktail recipe for entertaining or for slow summer days in the backyard. Because if you have a rosé you love, the process is incredibly simple.

In just about 25 minutes, it’s a slushie! A reallllly good slushie.

But I do have a few ways to customize your frosé recipe to make it just the way you like it.

What Should You Add to a Frosé Recipe?

The ingredients for frosé, technically, could just be a bottle of rosé! If you have a great bottle that you love, it might not need any additional ingredients to jazz it up.

However, there are a few ways to take it up a notch.

Vodka. For an extra boozy kick, add vodka to the mix. You’ll up the alcohol content without affecting the flavor in an extreme way. If vodka isn’t your thing, you can try gin as well.

Simple Syrup. You’ll probably find that most rosé bottles might need a little sweetening to enjoy in slushie form. Simple syrup is an easy way to sweeten the flavor. Just add it gradually so you don’t end up with a frosé that’s overly sweet.

Fresh Ingredients. Blended fruit is a fun addition to a frosé recipe! Have fun experimenting with various fruits (peaches, strawberries, and watermelon are particularly good), herbs, or spices.

Frosé recipe Ingredients

  • One bottle of rosé that you love! I like to use one that’s on the sweeter side. And rumor has it that Arbor Mist actually makes an amazing frosé. Haven’t tried it myself yet, though.
  • 1/4 cup vodka (optional)
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (optional)
  • blended or finely chopped fruit (optional)

How to Make Frosé With an Ice Cream Maker

  1. Pour the entire bottle of rosé into the ice cream maker and press start. If you’re using vodka, pour the vodka in as well.
  2. Check back after 15 minutes. If it’s starting to turn into slush, dip in a spoon and take a little taste. If you like your frosé a little sweeter, add in about 1/4 cup of simple syrup. Let it mix for a minute or two and taste again. Add additional simple syrup teaspoon by teaspoon until it reaches your desired sweetness.
  3. If you’d like some fruit added in, toss in about 1/2 cup of finely chopped frozen strawberries or raspberries. They should be fine enough that you could drink them through a straw to maintain the texture of the frosé.
  4. Once the frosé reaches your desired texture (usually about 20-25 minutes), turn the ice cream maker off and serve!

  1. This is a great piece of information. But, what if you don’t have an ice cream maker? Are there any other ways to make these without one? Any advice you have would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. Im a huge fan so keep up the good work and keep sharing your talents. Thank you

  2. I was so excited for this and it didn’t work both times I tried it – is the fruit necessary to get the rose to freeze/slush? I left in my (cuisinart) ice cream maker for an hour, then enjoyed some ice cold rose…. would appreciate any tips. Thanks!

    1. Hi Laura,
      That’s so weird! I actually have a Cuisinart ice cream maker as well, and it’s worked for me every time. Just a few troubleshooting ideas off the top of my head. Is the barrel of the ice cream maker completely frozen when you start the project? I always leave mine in the freezer for at least 24 hours if not more, to make sure that the freezer bowl is super cold and fully frozen. Also, the fruit isn’t necessary — but did you use the same type of rosé each time? Perhaps there’s something about the makeup of the bottle that is tougher to freeze. So sorry it’s not working for ya! We really like our tutorials to be successful. If I think of any more ideas I’ll keep you posted. xo

  3. I’ve been craving froze and I love how simple this is! Also, those glasses are amazing, do you remember where they are from?

    1. Hi! They were from a friend’s Amazon line a couple of years back. (They’re disposable.) Look up Sugar + Cloth on Amazon, they might still have some?

  4. Summer afternoon is sorted. So refreshing and interesting. Gonna use fresh Rose Petals straight from garden.

  5. I’ve been craving frozen treats, and I appreciate how easy this is! Also, do you remember where you got those incredible glasses? doodle jump
