Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) frozen peach slices
- 1 bottle (750 milliliters / 25.4 fluid ounces) white wine
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) peach schnapps
- 12 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
Texture and Garnish:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) ice
- Fresh peach slices
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Gather ripe frozen peach slices and chill your serving glasses for an extra refreshing touch.
- Pour the white wine and peach schnapps into the blender, ensuring all liquids are well-chilled before mixing.
- Add honey or simple syrup to enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches and balance the wine’s acidity.
- Pulse the blender to break down the frozen peaches, creating a smooth and uniform texture.
- Continue blending until the mixture transforms into a velvety, slushy consistency with no large ice chunks.
- If the slushie appears too liquid, gradually introduce additional ice cubes and blend until achieving the perfect thick, frosty texture.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by incorporating more honey or simple syrup if desired.
- Pour the peach wine slushie into the chilled glasses, allowing the mixture to maintain its slushy consistency.
- Optional: Garnish with a fresh peach slice or mint sprig for an elegant presentation that complements the drink’s vibrant flavor profile.
Notes
- Chill glasses in the freezer beforehand to keep the slushie extra frosty and prevent rapid melting.
- For a non-alcoholic version, swap wine and schnapps with white grape juice or peach nectar, maintaining the fruity flavor profile.
- Use very ripe, slightly overripe peaches for an intensely sweet and robust peach flavor that elevates the entire drink.
- Experiment with different honey varieties like lavender or orange blossom to add subtle complexity to the slushie’s taste.
