Ingredients
- 16 oz frozen strawberries
- 1 cup lemonade
- 750 ml bottle white wine
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Add the frozen strawberries, lemonade, white wine, and ice to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. Serve immediately.
Which white wine works best?
A crisp sauvignon blanc makes a great base because of its bright acidity, but you can choose any white wine you prefer. For a sweeter slushie, try a moscato, riesling, or chenin blanc—those will make the drink noticeably sweeter without any added sweetener.
Want it sweeter?
Strawberries and lemonade already add natural sweetness, but if you prefer a sweeter cocktail, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of honey or agave nectar before blending. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
Pro tip: freeze the wine
To avoid diluting the slushies as the ice melts, pour the white wine into ice cube trays and freeze. Use wine cubes instead of plain ice so every scoop stays flavorful. This trick keeps the texture icy while maintaining the drink’s full taste.
Tools
- Blender
- Ice cube trays (optional: for freezing wine)
Serving suggestions and variations
Garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry or a lemon wheel for a pretty presentation. For a fizzy twist, blend the mixture without all the ice and top each glass with a splash of sparkling water or prosecco right before serving. To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the wine with additional lemonade or sparkling lemonade and use frozen fruit for the same slushy texture.
