The Amaro Frosé from my book Celebrate Rosé is one of my absolute favorites! It’s not one of those watery slushies that lack any flavor, this Frosé is the real deal!

The Frosé all all other’s wish they could be, this Amaro Frosé is a delicious frozen drink to sip on a hot day. The key ingredient, besides the star rosé, the Amaro adds a bitter backbone go this drink which elevates all the flavors. Amaro are a style of liqueurs that contain bittering roots and herbs. Amaros can range from intensely bitter (think Fernet) to softer more subtle bitterness like in Aperol. I suggest using a slightly sweeter Amaro here, either Amaro Montenegro or Aperol, but feel free to use a more intense one if you love bracing bitter flavors.
