About This Recipe
Growing up in a Portuguese household, Mateus Rosé was always one of those recognizable bottles at family gatherings. Its distinctive round bottle and light, refreshing taste have made it a favourite among Portuguese families for generations.
This modern frozen version transforms that classic rosĂ© into a fun and refreshing cocktail thatâs perfect for warm weather entertaining.
Unlike many frozé recipes that rely on sugary syrups, this version uses honey for natural sweetness and fresh strawberries for vibrant flavour and colour.
