Just toss frozen rosé, sweet peaches, and a splash of lemon in a blender – boom, you’ve got the easiest, most refreshing crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients for Peach Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
Here’s everything you’ll need to whip up this peachy paradise (and yes, you likely have most of this already!):
- 1 bottle (750 ml) rosé wine – chilled (I’m partial to drier varieties, but use whatever you enjoy drinking)
- 2 cups frozen peaches – if using fresh, peel, chop and freeze them solid first (trust me, frozen is key for that perfect slush texture)
- 2 tbsp honey or simple syrup – start with this and add more to taste (my grandma always swore by orange blossom honey here)
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice – about half a juicy lemon’s worth
- 1 cup ice cubes – don’t skip this! It gives that crave-worthy frozen margarita consistency
Bonus garnishes: fresh peach slices, mint sprigs, or even a rosé ice cube floating on top for extra pizzazz!
Equipment You’ll Need
Grab these basic kitchen staples – chances are you’ve got them already:
- A high-powered blender (mine’s a 15-year-old workhorse that still pulverizes ice like a champ)
- Ice cube trays for freezing the rosé (I use silicone ones – no wrestling with stuck cubes!)
- Measuring spoons and a liquid measuring cup
- Pretty serving glasses – mason jars, wine glasses, or even colorful tumblers work
That’s it! No fancy gadgets required for this frosty magic.
How to Make Peach Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
Okay, let’s turn that bottle of rosé into summer’s most refreshing drink! Follow these simple steps – I’ve made every mistake so you don’t have to. The key? Patience with freezing and blending with love (and maybe a little elbow grease).
Step 1: Freeze the Rosé
This step is non-negotiable, friends! Pour your chilled rosé into ice cube trays and freeze solid overnight. Why? Because:
- Frozen wine cubes = maximum chill without watery dilution
- Creates that crave-worthy slush texture (regular ice just waters it down)
- Bonus: Your freezer will smell like a vineyard (best air freshener ever!)
Pro tip: Use silicone trays – those rigid plastic ones make wine cube extraction feel like an Olympic sport!
Step 2: Blend Ingredients
Time for the magic! Add to your blender:
- Frozen rosé cubes (all of them – no snacking!)
- Frozen peaches (the riper, the better)
- Honey or simple syrup
- Fresh lemon juice
- Regular ice cubes
Now blend on high until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula. If it struggles, add a splash of rosé (not water!) to help it along. You want it thick enough to stand a spoon in, but pourable – like a boozy peach milkshake.
Step 3: Serve Immediately
Pour that gorgeous pink elixir into chilled glasses right away – it melts fast in summer heat! For extra flair:
- Rim glasses with sugar mixed with peach powder
- Float a fresh peach slice on top
- Add a sprig of mint for color
- Stick in colorful paper straws (photo op!)
Warning: First sips may cause spontaneous exclamations of “Oh WOW!” and immediate requests for refills.
Tips for the Best Peach Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
After making dozens (okay, hundreds) of batches, here are my hard-earned secrets for frosé perfection:
- Peach perfection: Use the ripest, juiciest peaches you can find – frozen at peak sweetness is ideal
- Sweetness control: Blend with less honey first, then taste (you can always add more!)
- Blender know-how: Pulse at first to break up big chunks, then blend just until smooth (over-blending makes it watery)
- Temperature trick: Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes first – keeps it frosty longer
- Rosé selection: Pick one you’d happily drink on its own – cheap wine makes cheap frosé!
Remember: This isn’t rocket science – taste as you go and make it your own!
Variations of Peach Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
The beauty of this recipe? It’s like a blank canvas for your summer cocktail dreams! Here are my favorite ways to mix it up:
- Berry blast: Swap half the peaches for frozen strawberries or raspberries for a rosy-red twist
- Tropical vibes: Add a handful of frozen mango or pineapple – instant vacation in a glass!
- Spiked & sparkling: Top each glass with a splash of vodka or a fizzy prosecco float
- Herbal notes: Blend in 2-3 fresh basil leaves for an unexpected fresh kick
- Sweetener swap: Try agave or maple syrup instead of honey (perfect for vegan friends)
Really, anything goes – that’s the fun of frosé! Just keep the rosé-to-fruit ratio similar for perfect slushiness.
Serving Suggestions
Oh, the possibilities! This peach frosé transforms any occasion into an instant celebration. Here’s how I love to serve it:
Poolside perfection: Serve in chilled mason jars with striped paper straws – bonus points if you float edible flowers on top! Pair with:
- Fresh watermelon slices (the ultimate juicy combo)
- Light shrimp ceviche or chilled gazpacho shots
- Salted pistachios for that sweet-salty contrast
Brunch superstar: Swap mimosas for frosé – your guests will swoon. Perfect with:
- Fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes
- Prosciutto-wrapped melon bites
- Fresh croissants with peach jam
Glassware fun: I’ve served this in everything from vintage coupe glasses to recycled jam jars! My current favorite? Those cute stemless wine glasses with gold rims – makes every sip feel like a special occasion.
Pro tip: Set up a DIY frosé bar with different fruit purees and garnishes so guests can customize theirs. Just watch out – this stuff disappears faster than sunscreen on a hot day!
Peach Frosé (Frozen Rosé) Nutritional Information

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the peach frosé questions I get asked most often (usually while people are licking their glasses clean!):
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Just peel, chop, and freeze them solid first – fresh peach slices straight in will make your frosé watery. Frozen = perfect slush texture!
How long does peach frosé keep in the freezer?
About 2 hours max before it turns into a solid block. That’s why I always say “blend and serve immediately!” If needed, give stored leftovers a quick re-blend with extra ice.
Can I make this without alcohol?
Sure! Swap rosé for white grape juice or peach nectar. You’ll miss the wine kick but still get that fabulous peachy frozen treat.
My blender struggles with the frozen cubes – help!
Let cubes sit out 5 minutes first, or pulse with 1/4 cup extra rosé to get things moving. A high-powered blender works best – worth the investment for frosé emergencies!
What’s the best rosé for this recipe?
Pick one you’d drink chilled on its own – dry or semi-sweet both work. My go-to? A Spanish or Provence rosé with crisp fruit flavors. Never use “cooking wine” – yuck!
