Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you should have at hand before you start blending:
- Fresh Peaches: Choose ripe, juicy peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor. This is your main source of both taste and creaminess.
- Lemon Juice: Adds freshness and a little tang to perk up the peaches—skip it and you’ll miss that brightness!
- Granulated Sugar: Just a touch, to highlight the peaches’ own sweetness without overpowering the natural flavors.
- Rosé Wine: Use a crisp, fruit-forward rosé—nothing too sweet. This brings a subtle adult twist and beautiful floral notes.
- Peach Slices (for garnish): Optional, but they make the pops gorgeous and add a little pop of texture.
Tip: Fresh, in-season peaches deliver the best results, but if you’re really in a pinch, use frozen ones—just thaw before blending.
Note: You’ll find the complete list of ingredients, along with their exact measurements, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Variations
Want to mix things up? Here are a few fun ways to experiment:
- Different Fruit: Try nectarines, strawberries, or raspberries in place of, or alongside, the peaches.
- Make it Alcohol-Free: Skip the rosé and use white grape juice or sparkling lemonade for a family-friendly treat.
- Herbal Twist: Add a few fresh basil or mint leaves to the blender for a lovely, subtle herbal note.
- Amp Up the Booze: For a bolder flavor, swap in a fruity white wine or even add a dash of peach liqueur (just beware—more alcohol makes freezing a bit trickier!).
- Extra Creaminess: Blend in a splash of coconut milk for a dairy-free, creamy texture and a tropical twist.
How to Make Peach Rosé Popsicles
Step 1: Blend the Peaches
First, combine those ripe, chopped peaches, lemon juice, and sugar in your blender. Blitz everything until you have a silky-smooth puree—no big chunks should remain.
Step 2: Mix in the Rosé
Pour in the rosé wine and give it another quick blend to marry all those flavors into a beautiful, pink-peachy mixture.
Step 3: Pour and Pre-Freeze
Carefully pour the mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving about half an inch at the top for expansion as they freeze. Freeze for one hour. Don’t skip this step—it helps hold the fruit slices and sticks in place later!
Step 4: Add Peach Slices and Insert Sticks
Once the pops are partially frozen and slushy, tuck in a couple of pretty peach slices against the side of each mold and gently push in the popsicle sticks. The semi-frozen mixture should anchor them in place.
Step 5: Final Freeze
Let your popsicles freeze overnight (or at least 8 hours) so they’re totally solid and set.
Step 6: Unmold and Enjoy
When you’re ready, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds—this makes each pop slide out beautifully. For storing, line a tray with parchment, or wrap each pop individually to keep them frost-free.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
- Use Ripe Peaches: Underripe fruit = bland pops. Ripe peaches provide unbeatable flavor and sweetness.
- Choose the Right Rosé: Go for a dry, not overly sweet, rosé for balance—sweet wine plus sugar can tip these pops towards cloying.
- Don’t Overload with Alcohol: Too much wine, and your pops just won’t freeze solid! Stick to the recipe for the perfect texture.
- Mind the Freezer Space: Pop molds should sit flat so your sticks freeze upright—clear some level shelf space in advance.
- Want a Less Boozy Pop?: You can cut the wine with a splash of juice or water if you want something lighter.
How to Serve
These popsicles are meant for sharing and savoring on long, sunny days. Serve them straight from the freezer at cookouts, pool parties, or as an after-dinner surprise. For an elegant touch, pile them over crushed ice in a chilled tray for guests to help themselves. You could even pop a few in a large wine glass with fresh berries for a whimsical dessert cocktail.
Pair these pops with easy summer snacks—think a cheese board with brie and almonds, salty pistachios, or a crisp green salad. They’re also fantastic on their own, maybe enjoyed while sinking into your favorite patio chair.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Once frozen solid, wrap popsicles individually in parchment or wax paper and keep them in a zip-top bag in your freezer. This keeps them fresh and prevents the dreaded freezer burn.
Freezing
Popsicles will keep beautifully for up to 1 month—beyond that, the texture may start to suffer, but they’ll still taste good.
Reheating
There’s no reheating here—just let the pops sit at room temperature for a minute if they’re too hard to bite into straight from the deep freeze.
FAQs
-
Can I use white wine instead of rosé?
Absolutely! A light, fruity white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works wonderfully. The flavor profile will shift slightly, but you’ll still get all that gorgeous fruitiness.
-
What if I don’t have a popsicle mold?
No problem! Small paper cups and wooden sticks work just as well. Pour in the mixture, freeze for an hour, add the stick, and finish freezing. Peel away the cup to enjoy.
-
Are these popsicles too alcoholic to freeze solid?
Not at all—there’s just enough wine for flavor and a gentle buzz, but not so much that the pops won’t set. Stick to the recommended amount for perfect results.
-
Can I make these popsicles kid-friendly?
You sure can! Skip the rosé and use white grape juice or peach nectar. The pops will still be beautifully sweet and refreshing.

Description
These vibrant Peach Rosé Popsicles combine juicy peaches and a splash of rosé wine for a deliciously refreshing adult frozen treat. They’re easy to make, bursting with fresh fruit flavor, and perfect for hot summer days or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
For the Peach Puree
- 4 medium peaches (about 1 1/4 pounds), pitted and coarsely chopped (about 4 cups chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Popsicles
- 1 cup rosé wine
- 1 medium peach, pitted and sliced, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Puree: In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, lemon juice, and sugar. Pulse until the mixture is completely smooth and no large chunks remain. You should get about 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups of peach puree.
- Add the Rosé: Pour 1 cup of rosé wine into the peach puree in the blender. Blend again until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the peach and rosé mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving about 1/2-inch of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Initial Freezing: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour. Set a timer so you don’t forget this step.
- Insert Peach Slices and Sticks: After 1 hour, the mixture should be thickened and slushy but not solid. Push a slice or two of fresh peach down into each mold against the side, if desired. Insert popsicle sticks; the mixture should be thick enough that the sticks will stand upright.
- Freeze Until Solid: Return the molds to the freezer and freeze overnight, or until the popsicles are completely solid.
- Unmold and Store: To release the popsicles, run the molds briefly under warm water until the pops slide out easily. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet, or wrap the popsicles individually in parchment or waxed paper and store in a zip-top bag to prevent frost.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Popsicles with alcohol freeze a little softer than non-alcoholic, so enjoy straight from the freezer.
- You can substitute nectarines or combine with other summer fruits for variety.
- If you don’t have popsicle molds, use small paper cups and wooden sticks.
