Ingredients

During the Summer months, I make it a point to keep a well-stocked freezer. Popsicles, ice cream and frozen fruit are essential to keeping cool and refreshed on the hottest of days. These frozen commodities are not only delicious on their own but make for quite the cocktail. And this spiked slushie? A positive product of my freezer-hoarding tendencies.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Wine-to-Go Moscato

The lush, tantalizing flavors of this moscato pairs seamlessly with the added frozen fruits.  I used Barefoot Moscato.

Frozen Diced Mango

Mangoes are bright, floral and tropically sweet. Perfect addition to any Summer cocktail.

Frozen Diced Pineapple

Pineapples are a wonderful balance between sweet and tart. The added acidity helps to layer flavor while toning down sweetness.

Honey or Agave Nectar

Both are wonderfully sweet and slightly floral. Just a few squeezes adds a beautiful decadence and brights out the sweetness of the fruit.

Lime Juice

What’s a Summer drink without a few squeezes of fresh lime? Bright citrus uplifts the entire beverage and makes you wanna smack those lips!

Frozen Strawberries

Sweet, juicy and vibrant, strawberries not only add incredible flavor but their color is drop-dead gorgeous.

How to Make Wine Slushies

1. Prep Your Wine:

  • First off, grab that Moscato from the freezer. Oh yeah, it’s not just for drinking straight anymore! Slice that pouch in half and get ready for the fun part.

2. Tropical Bliss Blend:

  • Toss mango and pineapple into your trusty blender, adding a tablespoon of honey for that sweet kiss, half of your frozen Moscato, and a teaspoon of lime juice for a zing.
  • Hit that high speed and blend until it’s smoother than your dance moves. Pour this golden joy into another container and set it aside. Give your blender a quick clean, because round two is coming up!

3. Berrylicious Mix:

  • Now, add those succulent strawberries to the blender, pour in the remaining honey, the rest of your Moscato, and that good-good lime juice. Blend it again on high speed until it’s oh-so-creamy and dreamy.

4. Layer and Serve:

  • Here’s where your art skills come in. Spoon half of your mango-pineapple mix into a glass, then follow it with your strawberry slush. Aim for those clear, gorgeous layers that’ll make your Insta followers jelly.
  • Serve it up right away and watch the sippin’ smiles begin!

Make it Kid Friendly

Whether you’re trying to include the whole family or not a fan of alcohol, this recipe can be easily adapted.

Non Alcoholic Tip: Replace the moscato with your favorite juice! I would recommend orange, peach, grape or any combination of these options.

Storage

  1. Freeze ‘Em: Pour leftover slushies into ice cube trays or airtight containers. Quick access, no flavor loss!
  2. Keep It Fresh: Use them within a month for the best taste and texture.
  3. Thaw It Right: Move them from freezer to fridge about 30 minutes before sipping, or give ’em a quick re-blend for instant smoothness.

  1. Wow!!! So amazing. I made 2 pitchers for the neighborhood 4th party, and they were a huge hit!! To make them last a bit longer, I did top them off with some prosecco. But wow. So good!!!

  2. That looks amazing. When I’m short on time I use Wine-a-Rita wine slushee mixes. So easy. All you add is mix, ice & booze. Cheers!

    1. You can use a sharp knife to cut it in half. Or kitchen sheers.

  3. This looks perfect for the heat of summer! My husband and I always try to find a new drink to try at our annual beach vacation and this is definitely going on the list this year!
