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 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).
