There’s no doubt about it that rosé is the unofficial drink of the summer. With festivals centered around the millennial-pink wine (Pinknic, La Nuit en Rose) and phrases like “rosé all day” becoming colloquial, it’s no wonder that the best bars in NYC wasted no time finding ways to please both Instagram and its customers. And it turns out, you just needed to add ice and a few mix-ins to make the slushy sensation known as frosé. Whether sipping at a sky-high rooftop bar or one of the city’s best cocktail bars, here’s where to find frozen rosé in NYC.
