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 rosé into a fun and refreshing cocktail that’s 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.

What Makes Mateus Rosé Perfect for Frozé?

Mateus Rosé has a light body, gentle sweetness, and refreshing acidity that blends beautifully into frozen cocktails.
