Frequently Asked Questions 

What is a frozen cocktail?

A frozen cocktail is a mixed drink that has been blended with ice to a slushy or frozen consistency. They are popular for their refreshing, ice-cold texture and are often served in warm climates or at casual gatherings.

Can I use rosé wine instead of vodka for a frozen rosé drink?

Yes, you can easily substitute rosé wine for the vodka in this recipe to create a truly frozen rosé drink. Keep in mind that rosé wine will have a lower alcohol content and may require slightly less blending time to maintain a firm consistency.

What's the difference between a slushie and a frozen cocktail?

The main difference is the presence of alcohol. A slushie is a frozen drink that can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. A frozen cocktail is a type of slushie that specifically contains alcohol. This recipe can be either, by omitting the vodka for a zero-proof treat.

Can I make this recipe in a larger batch?

Yes, you can easily scale this recipe for a party. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need and blend in a large-capacity blender. You may need to blend in smaller batches to achieve the desired consistency.
