The creation reportedly originated at a New York bar when staff were looking for a new drink suitable for the summer. As it was Rosé season, it seemed appropriate to use that as a base. An experiment to freeze it was successful and the Frosé was born.
Now all the trendy people are drinking it, making it among the most popular menu choices in some of the hottest bars in London, New York and across Europe.
In bars, Frosé usually made in large quantities with Rosé being blended with lemon juice and sugar and frozen for several hours before being blended into its slushy goodness, but you can easily make a Frosé at home.
