Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Just wash, hull, and freeze your strawberries in a single layer ahead of time. This gives a fresher, more vibrant taste and avoids a watery texture.

What’s the best wine to use for slushies?

Pink Moscato is great because it’s light, sweet, and fruity, but you can use any rosé, or even a sparkling option. Just stick with wines that you’d enjoy drinking on their own for the best flavor.

Can I make this in advance for a party?

Definitely. Simply blend and freeze the mixture—then let it soften a bit before your guests arrive and re-blend for that perfect slushie consistency.

How can I adjust the sweetness to my taste?

Start with less simple syrup than you think you need, blend, and taste. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out! Some wines and berries are naturally sweeter, so trust your palate.

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the strawberries are frozen and the wine is well-chilled. If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and freeze them at least several hours ahead.
Blend: Place the frozen strawberries, pink Moscato wine, and simple syrup into a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and slushy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Taste and Adjust: Sample the slushie. If you prefer it sweeter, add more simple syrup and briefly blend again to incorporate.
Serve: Pour the slushie into chilled glasses and serve immediately for the best icy texture.

Notes

Use Fresh Strawberries: If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and freeze them yourself for maximum freshness and flavor.
Adjust Sweetness: Add simple syrup gradually and taste before serving to achieve your preferred sweetness.
Chill Your Wine: Using chilled wine keeps the slushie cold and prevents it from melting quickly.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy the slushies immediately after blending for the ideal texture.
Use a High-Powered Blender: For the smoothest, most consistent slushie.
Experiment with Flavors: Try mixing different frozen fruits or substituting different wines for new flavor combinations.
