Note: I was sent bottles of Fresh Vine Wine Rosé in order to make this post. Opinions are mine alone.
It is absolutely rosé season! And what is better than a refreshing, cold glass of rosé? An ice-cold glass of Strawberry Frose, of course!
This recipe is a simple way to upgrade your normal glass of rosé, making it perfect for warm summer nights spent with friends.
For this recipe, I am using Fresh Vine Wine Rosé. Produced and bottled in Napa, California, Fresh Vine Wine’s are premium, great tasting wines with careful attention to lower calorie, carb, and sugar content.
The Fresh Vine Wine Rosé is a blend of Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir pressed then fermented and aged in stainless steel, with notes of nectarine, stone fruit, and melon with a bit of acidity, which will work perfectly with the balanced sweetness of strawberries!
Ingredients (makes 4 servings):
- 1 (750 ml) bottle of Fresh Vine Wine Rosé
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar, to taste
- 1/4 cup vodka
The night before, pour the rosé into ice cube trays and freeze overnight.
When you are ready to make the frosé, add your sliced strawberries to the bowl of your blender.
Pour in the vodka, and your desired amount of sugar. Note: Fresh Vine Wine Rosé has a nice acidity to it, so if you like things sweet, you may want to add in 2 tablespoons. I suggest starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more by the teaspoon after blending and tasting until you reach your desired sweetness. If you are using a different bottle of Rosé, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar added.
Add in the rosé cubes.
Cover, and blend until smooth. If needed, adjust the sweetness and blend again.
Pour into wine glasses and garnish with strawberries.
This absolutely hits the spot on a hot summer night!
The strawberries are a wonderful complement to the Fresh Vine Wine Rosé without overpowering the subtle flavors of nectarine and melon within the Rosé.
