Shantay, You Frosé
Frosé on a summer day is more satisfying than a childhood bully growing up to be ugly. Normal liquid rosé is already a fabulous complement to brunch foods and petty conversation, but we basics like it frozen, not unlike our foreheads after a semiannual tune-up with injectables. This is why frosé is basicness at its peak. It’s refreshing, it’s pink, it’s sweet, it gets you drunk, it’s Insta-ready, and it’s surprisingly easy to make on your own. Just use the entire bottle and invite some friends over to lip-synch for their lives. I judge anyone who needs to invest in a wine stopper.
