This simple recipe shows you how to make a batch of boozy wine slushies out of only two ingredients. While slushies may be a classic childhood drink, this recipe turns the sugary treat into a delicious adult beverage.
To whip up your own batch of wine slushies, all you need is a bottle of light-bodied white wine and two cups of fresh fruit. Nearly any type of fruit will work with this recipe, including mangoes, blueberries, cherries or peaches. Begin by pouring half of the wine into an ice cube tray and freezing for about eight hours. Once the wine is frozen, remove the ice cubes and place them in a blender with the fresh fruit of your choosing. Pour in the remaining wine from the bottle and then blend everything until the mixture takes on a slushy consistency. The end result is a fruity wine slushy that is both delicious and refreshing.
