The Art of the “Suspended Fruit” Look

The most beautiful part of these Frosé Ice Pops is the way the whole berries seem to float effortlessly inside the translucent pop. This isn’t a blended or pureed pop; it’s a clear, wine-based Jell-O-like treat studded with fruit.

The secret to this look is simple: by placing the frozen berries in the molds first and then pouring the chilled liquid over them, they get locked into place as the pop freezes. The initial one-hour freeze helps to set the bottom and hold the lollipop stick upright, ensuring a perfect presentation. This technique creates a beautiful, rustic, and artisanal appearance in your finished Frosé Ice Pops.

Choosing the Right Rosé

The wine you choose is the star of the show, so it will have a big impact on the final flavor of your Frosé Ice Pops. For the best results, select a dry, crisp, fruit-forward rosé wine.

Since the recipe includes sweet grape juice, using an overly sweet rosé (like a sweet white zinfandel) can make the final pops cloying. A classic dry rosé from Provence, or one made from Grenache or Pinot Noir grapes, will have bright notes of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus that will perfectly complement the juices and the fresh berries in the recipe.

The Key Ingredients for Your Frosé Ice Pops

Each ingredient in these Frosé Ice Pops is chosen to create a perfectly balanced and refreshing flavor.

• Rosé Wine: The chic, flavorful base. A chilled, dry rosé is the ideal choice.
• White and Concord Grape Juice: The white grape juice provides a clean, sweet base, while just a splash of deep, flavorful Concord grape juice adds a beautiful color and a classic “grapey” note that enhances the wine’s fruitiness.
• Frozen Wild Blueberries & Raspberries: Using frozen berries is key, as they help to keep the liquid base cold upon pouring. Wild blueberries are smaller and more intensely flavored, adding a beautiful visual pop of deep purple.
• Lollipop Sticks: These are thinner and more elegant than standard popsicle sticks, adding to the sophisticated look of the finished Frosé Ice Pops.

Step-by-Step Guide to Your Frosé Ice Pops

This recipe is all about simple, elegant assembly. Follow these steps for a perfect result.

1. Prepare the Base: In a spouted container or a pitcher, combine the chilled rosé wine with the white grape juice and the Concord grape juice. Stir them together.
2. Add Berries to the Molds: Place 2 frozen wild blueberries and 3 frozen raspberries into each of your ice pop molds. Distribute them evenly.
3. Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the wine and juice mixture over the berries in each mold, filling them almost to the top.
4. First Freeze & Insert Sticks: If your molds have built-in lids with slots for sticks, insert the lollipop sticks now. Place the molds in the freezer for 1 hour. If your molds do not have stick-holding lids, this first hour of freezing will make the mixture slushy enough to hold a stick upright. After 1 hour, insert a lollipop stick into the center of each mold.
5. Final Freeze: Return the molds to the freezer and allow the Frosé Ice Pops to freeze until they are completely solid. This will take at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.

The Perfect Serve: A Touch of Elegance

The best way to serve these Frosé Ice Pops is with a touch of practical elegance. Place each ice pop in a stemless wine glass or a coupe glass. This not only looks incredibly chic, but it also cleverly catches any delicious, wine-infused drips as the pop begins to melt, allowing your guests to enjoy every last drop.

Making a “Virgin” Non-Alcoholic Version

Want to make a family-friendly version of these beautiful pops? It’s incredibly easy! Simply replace the 1 1/2 cups of rosé wine with one of the following:

• Club Soda or Sparkling Water: For a fizzy, less sweet version.
• Sparkling Rosé Cider (Non-Alcoholic): For a festive, bubbly, and flavorful alternative.
• More White Grape Juice: For a sweeter, fruitier pop that kids will love.

The assembly process for your non-alcoholic Frosé Ice Pops remains exactly the same.

Storage Information

Your finished Frosé Ice Pops will keep well in their molds in the freezer for up to a month. You can also unmold them and store them in a freezer-safe airtight container or bag, separated by layers of wax paper.
