Hold the Frosé, Bring Out The Friesling

07/20/2021

by: Melissa Dowling

Friesling

We love some frozen rosé on a hot day, but the ubiquity of pink wines in recent years makes us seek out something different. Enter Friesling, or frozen riesling.

The white grape variety that hails from Germany’s Rhine region is perfect for a slushy wine cocktail, thanks to its fruit-driven, floral flavors and high acidity. Online searches for Friesling recipes bring up a lot of fruity, sweet-sounding options; peach and blackberry are frequent flavors.

We prefer our Friesling a bit drier, like this version from Thief, a new bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It combines riesling, Rockey’s botanical liqueur, white grape juice, vodka, lemon, lime and orange. John McNulty, who opened Thief in June, shared the recipe for a big batch of Friesling.

Combine ingredients in a slushy machine or use a blender for smaller portions.
