Now let’s talk all things wine slushies! Today we are sharing 3 unique wine slushie flavors using three different Cupcake LightHearted wines. Each of their wines has a unique flavor profile that ties perfectly into their wine slushie recipe.

What You Need for Wine Slushies

wine is the most important part of wine slushies because it’s where your slushie gets most of its flavor. This is why we’re using Cupcake LightHearted Wines. They’re refreshing, flavorful, and seriously so perfect for wine slushies! PS: you’re going to need an entire bottle.

  • Sauvignon Blanc
  • Rosé
  • Pinot Noir

Frozen Fruit: instead of using all ice, we thought we’d use frozen fruit to not only add more slush but to also add all-natural flavor.

Ice: ice gives extra slush. We 100% recommend ice to make your wine slushies extra slushie.

Add-Ins: add ins such as other liquors, flavors, and juices will enhance the flavors in your wine slushies.

How to Make Wine Slushies

Wine slushies are ready to go in less than 10 minutes and with just 3 simple steps. Here’s how to make wine slushies.

  1. Assemble Ingredients: first, assemble your ingredients. Measure out everything that you need, while working quickly so that your frozen fruit and ice don’t melt.
  2. Blend, Blend, Blend: add all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds or until everything is smooth. Option to add more ice as desired.
  3. Serve: serve your wine slushie immediately with garnishes of fresh fruit and herbs. Enjoy!

Want it slushier? If you want more slush, simply add more ice! Sometimes your wine slushy can melt as it sits or your fruit may not be frozen enough. So, add more ice. If your blender isn’t big enough, you can do this in sections.

#1 tip for wine slushies

Our #1 tip for perfect wine slushies is a high-speed blender. You need to have a blender that can pulverize the fruit and ice so that it turns into a slush.
