I, Alyssa can blend smoothies like a pro. But give me the task of creating a frozen cocktail that isn’t too icy or too watery, and I’m running out of the kitchen faster than I can drink a glass of frosé. That was until now I realized how much summer drink-of-choice was costing me pretty penny at the bar. I knew it was time to start making my own.
After a few days (and several bottles of rosé) of testing out allllll kinds of frosé creations, I knew I’d finally found the perfect blend. This recipe takes the classic Frosé, beloved for its light and fruity profile, and infuses it with the juicy sweetness of watermelon and the delightful tang of muddled cherries.
The result? A frozen masterpiece that’s bursting with flavor and perfect for poolside parties, backyard barbecues, or simply enjoying a beautiful summer day on your own porch.

Ingredients and Equipment Needed
- Rosé wine (chilled) — A dry rosé works best for this recipe, but you can experiment with different styles to find your perfect flavor combination.
- Triple sec (orange liqueur)
- Fresh watermelon cubes — If you don’t have fresh watermelon cubes on hand, you can substitute with frozen watermelon chunks. Just be aware that this might create a slightly icier texture.
- Frozen cherries
- Fresh cherries, watermelon slices, and roses for garnish
- Blender
- Ice cube trays
How to Make a Cherry Watermelon Frose
1 — Pour the wine into ice cube trays and freeze it for at least 6 hours or overnight. Please note that it won’t freeze into a completely solid state, but the wine cubes should still be relatively hard when they’re ready.
2 — To make the drinks, place the watermelon and Triple Sec in a blender and blend on high for 10-15 seconds, or just until the watermelon has liquefied.
3 — Add the wine cubes and the cherries, and blend for 45-60 seconds, or until smooth, stopping to stir as necessary.
If you’d prefer the drink to be thicker, you can add more frozen cherries, and if you’d like the drink to be thinner, you can always add more triple sec.
4 — Pour into glasses, garnish, and raise it up for a toast.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter frosé, add a little more Triple Sec to taste.
- Frozen watermelon?
- Make it boozier: Want a stronger frosé? Add a bit more rosé wine, but be mindful of alcohol content.
- Chill your glasses: Frosé tastes best in chilled glasses. Pop them in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving.
