Flavor suggestions
One of the many great things about these wine slushies is how versatile they are! You really can’t go wrong with any combination of flavors.
Any wine will work, I like to use sauvignon blanc. White wines will go well with any fruit. Whereas red wines pair better with berries. No matter the varietal, I like to look for healthier wines when I can!
Here are some ideas for what frozen fruit you can use:
- Peaches
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Mangos
- Pineapples
Serve with a few whole pieces of fruit on top as a pretty garnish!
Preparation Tips
For the best wine slushies ever, follow these suggestions:
- Make your slushie more tart by adding lemon juice.
- For a sweeter slushie, add sugar.
- You can make each flavor separate and layer them as I have. Or, simply mix it all together!
- Prep in advance! Make extra and freeze in ice cube trays. Then you can let them defrost a little, blend, and enjoy! (You may need to add a little more liquid to recapture the smooth consistency.)
- Pack in a boozy punch! Take a page out of sangria’s book and add a shot of brandy, schnapps, or vodka.
Common Questions
How do you make wine slushies without a blender?
You can quickly freeze any liquid into slushy form by sealing it into a quart sized zip top bag. Then place that bag in a gallon sized zip top bag filled with ice and salt. Shake until frozen!
These slushies however use frozen fruit which won’t break down in the plastic bag method. A food processor can work in place of a blender to blend them up. If you don’t have either, try using fresh fruits juice instead.
How do you thaw frozen wine?
Let the frozen wine thaw in your refrigerator until it returns to liquid form.
Can you freeze wine into ice cubes?
Yes you can! Just pour your wine into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the wine ice cubes into an airtight freezer safe container.
How do you make a slushie?
Slushies are made by blending ice and liquid. This recipe uses frozen fruit in place of ice cubes, and wine for the liquid.
