Why This Recipe Works

White Wine Slushies are a delightful and refreshing way to enjoy a frozen cocktail, especially on a hot day. Here are three key reasons why this recipe works so well:

• Simple Ingredients: This recipe uses just a few simple ingredients – grab your favorite bottle of wine, frozen fruit, and a splash of Cointreau. These ingredients are easy to find at any grocery store and come together to create a delicious cocktail.

Supplies Needed

Before diving into this delicious recipe, make sure you have the following supplies:

• High-powered blender or food processor
• Ice cube trays
• Mason jars or wine glasses
• Measuring Cups

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delightful White Wine Slushies:

• 3 cups white wine (sauvignon blanc or your favorite white wine)
• 3 oz Cointreau or orange liqueur
• 16 oz frozen fruit (peaches work great, but you can use different fruits like strawberries or pineapple)
• Simple syrup or sugar (to taste, if needed)

How to Make White Wine Slushies

1. Grab the Wine: Pour your bottle of chilled white wine into the pitcher of a blender or food processor. 
2. Blend the Ingredients: Next, add in the frozen fruit, and Cointreau (or other orange liqueur if desired). Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a tiny bit of wine to achieve the desired consistency. 
3. Sweeten to Taste: Taste your slushie and add simple syrup or sugar if you prefer a sweeter drink. Blend again to mix thoroughly.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to transfer the slushie to mason jars or wine glasses. Garnish with fresh peaches or a garnish of chamomile or mint for a beautiful touch.

Variations

One of the best parts about this wine slushie recipe is its versatility. Here are some fun variations to try next time:

• Strawberry Wine Slushies: Substitute frozen strawberries for the peaches. This creates a lovely pink slushie that’s perfect for a girls’ night or bachelorette party.
• Tropical Wine Slushie: Use frozen pineapple and a bottle of fruity white wine like Moscato or Pinot Grigio for a tropical twist.
• Peach and Rosé Slushies: For a different flavor, try using rosé wine instead of white wine. The sweetness of your wine combined with the ripe fruit makes for a delightful summer cocktail.

Food Pairings

White Wine Slushies pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods. Here are some great options to consider:

• Cheese and Charcuterie: The lightness of the slushie complements a rich cheese and charcuterie board perfectly.
• Grilled Seafood: Serve your slushie alongside grilled shrimp or fish for a refreshing contrast.
• Light Salads: A crisp salad like this cold soba noodle salad recipe or my popular grinder salad recipe!

Final Tips

• Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit not only enhances the flavor but also helps achieve the perfect slushy texture. Avoid adding ice so you don’t water down your drink! 
• Alcohol Content: Keep in mind that the alcohol content of your slushie will be similar to a glass of wine, so drink responsibly.
• Storage: If you have extra slushie mixture, pour it into a freezer bag and lay it flat on a baking sheet to freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy it, let it thaw slightly and give it a quick blend.
• Serving: These slushies are best enjoyed immediately, but you can store any leftovers in the freezer and re-blend for later.

White Wine Slushies are the perfect drink for warm weather, summer vacations, or any happy hour gathering. With this easy recipe, you can impress your friends and family with delicious cocktails that are simple to make and incredibly refreshing. So grab your favorite wine, and some fresh fruit, and get ready to elevate your cocktail game with the hottest cool drink of the summer!
