Raspberry Frosé is a refreshing wine slush cocktail made with raspberries, peach and rose wine. Make it two ways: in a blender or an ice cream machine!
This Raspberry Frosé is one of my favorite wine cocktails, and one my friends are fans of too. I created this wine slush recipe and four more for the California Wines Fresh & Delicious California Wine Cocktails ebook, which you can download for free.

This frozen rose recipe has the same Prince-based inspiration as the Cranberry Rosé wine cocktail from the California Wines Cocktails for the Holidays. Purple Reign is in formulation – stay tuned!
How to make a Raspberry Frose wine slush:
This cocktail feels (and tastes) like a bright pink celebration of summer. Once you’ve blended up the base, you can pour it in an ice cream machine or freeze it and pop it back in the blender. Either way, make sure you allow plenty of time for freezing before planning to serve. The sweetness in the finished wine slush cocktail will vary based on the wine you choose and the natural sugar in the fruit. Both methods deliver equally delicious results – although the ice cream machine has less waiting, which I appreciate.
My friend Meg recently shared her favorite summer wine cocktail too: this Strawberry Lemon Smash. It’s loaded with fresh strawberries, tangy lemons and sparkling wine, and definitely worth a try. You’ll notice we’re both edible flower fans, so when we ask each other if they are overkill, we already know the answer. 🙂 (Check out my Edible Flower Pistachio Shortbread Cookies!) Feel free to make yours sans blooms.
The red berry flavors of rosé wine are refreshing anytime – made even more so by freezing. If you have sweet or semi-dry rose and fresh fruit, I don’t think you’ll need to add sweetener. If your raspberries or the peach were frozen, or aren’t at their peak, a little sugar might help.
I honestly can’t wait for you to pour yourself a Raspberry Frosé and let me know what you think! If savory cocktails are up your alley, try this Farmers Market wine cocktail next.
