Who doesn't love a refreshing and flavorful slushie on a hot summer day? The combination of sweet and tangy fruit flavors mixed with the cool, icy texture is the perfect way to beat the heat.
But have you ever thought about making some grown up slushies?
Introducing the newest summer trend: Ginger Peach Wine Slushies. This mouthwatering, adult concoction is not only a delicious treat but also a refreshing twist on classic summer slushies.
So grab your blender and get ready to elevate your summer drinks game.
I went on a wine slushy kick this summer making Strawberry Rosemary Wine Slushies for Harvest2U and these Ginger Peach Wine Slushies. Watermelon is coming next!
The best part about these is there is no ice in here to water down the drink.
Instead I froze some very ripe fresh peach slices I got from my neighbor's tree. Bonus: frozen peaches blend so much more easily than ice!
And the fresh ginger adds a nice spicy kick to contrast with sweet peaches and wine.
What type of wine should I use for wine slushies?
You can use any wine you like.
I went with an orange Moscato.
Rose or white would probably be better here than a red wine, simply because the red color might muddy the peach color. But if you prefer reds, go for it!
You could even chose an alcohol free wine if that's your thing.
Ingredients for Ginger Peach Wine Slushies
- peaches - fresh (and then freeze) or already frozen
- fresh ginger -
- Moscato or other white wine
- simple syrup, agave syrup or honey (optional)
I chose not to sweeten mine, but you can add a little simple syrup, honey or agave if you want it sweeter. The choice will largely depend on the ripeness of the fruit and the wine.
