Now that you have your Barbiecore snack, you’ll obviously need a drink to match. And we’ve found the perfect summer drink to make you feel like a real-life Barbie. Here’s everything you’ll need to make the perfect DIY Frosé:
DIY Frosé Recipe Ingredients:
(Makes enough for 4-6)
-
1 750 ml Bottle of Rosé
-
½ Cup Sugar
-
8 Ounces Strawberries - hulled and quartered
-
½ Ounce of Lemon Juice
DIY Frosé Recipe Steps:
-
Pour rosé into a 13x9’’ pan and freeze for at least 6 hours. (Pro tip: Put it in the freezer the night before the party so it’s ready to go!)
-
Add sugar and ½ cup of water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir constantly until sugar dissolves (about 3 minutes).
-
Add strawberries to the pan and remove from heat. Let the strawberries sit in the syrup for about 30 minutes.
-
Transfer rosé into a blender.
-
Add lemon juice, some strawberry syrup, and 1 cup of ice. Blend until smooth (should be a slushy consistency).
Divide frosé into our Barbie Birthday Birthday Stadium Cups or our Barbie Birthday Drink Pouch for a fun touch of sparkle!
