Raspberry Frosé is a delightful mix of sweet, tart, and icy-refreshing flavors — a fun, modern take on classic rosé that’s perfect for warm days, brunches, and casual gatherings.
Raspberry Frosé in the Ninja CREAMi
Frosé — shorthand for frozen rosé — first became a craze in New York City in 2016 and quickly spread into a seasonal favorite worldwide. Its frozen texture, pretty color, and simple ingredients make it a crowd-pleaser. This recipe adapts that trend for the Ninja CREAMi, a versatile appliance that produces smooth frozen drinks without relying on ice cubes.
If you don’t own a Ninja CREAMi, you can still make this at home: freeze the base mixture in ice cube trays, then blend the frozen cubes in a high-powered blender until smooth. The flavor will be essentially the same — bright raspberry, light rosé, and a hint of tropical pineapple — with an easy, scoopable texture when the Ninja CREAMi is used.
The method below is straightforward: prepare the fruity rosé base, freeze it, add a splash of juice for the final texture, and process until velvety. The result is a bar-quality Raspberry Frosé you can make any time.

Recipe FAQ
Yes. Fresh raspberries will work, but using frozen berries chills the mixture faster and helps achieve the proper frozen texture. Frozen berries also help thicken the base without adding extra ice.
Absolutely. Replace the rosé with non-alcoholic rosé, sparkling water, or white grape juice for a family-friendly version.
For best texture, enjoy immediately after processing. The frozen base can be kept in the freezer for up to a week; reprocess briefly before serving if it becomes overly firm.
