Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 mL / 25.4 fl oz) white wine
- 4 cups (960 mL) frozen peach slices
- 12 tbsps honey or simple syrup
- ¼ cup (60 mL) peach schnapps
- 1 cup (240 mL) ice
- Fresh peach slices
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Preparation: Chill serving glasses and gather all ingredients at optimal temperature for a refreshing wine slushie experience.
- Blending Foundation: Combine white wine and peach schnapps in blender, ensuring both liquids are thoroughly chilled to maintain drink’s integrity.
- Sweetness Integration: Introduce honey or simple syrup to balance wine’s acidity and enhance peaches’ natural flavor profile.
- Texture Transformation: Pulse frozen peach slices, gradually increasing blender speed to create smooth, uniform slushy consistency without large ice fragments.
- Consistency Calibration: Adjust mixture’s thickness by incrementally adding ice cubes, blending until achieving perfect frosty texture that holds shape when poured.
- Flavor Refinement: Taste and fine-tune sweetness levels, incorporating additional honey or syrup as needed to harmonize beverage’s overall flavor.
- Presentation: Carefully transfer wine slushie into pre-chilled glasses, maintaining slushy composition and ensuring optimal drinking temperature.
- Garnish Finale: Optionally crown the drink with a delicate peach slice or vibrant mint sprig, elevating visual appeal and aromatic complexity.
Notes
- Chill Ingredients Thoroughly: Keep white wine, peach schnapps, and frozen peaches ultra-cold to maintain the perfect slushy texture and prevent watering down.
- Pulse Blending Technique: Use short, controlled pulses to break down frozen peaches evenly, avoiding over-blending that could create a thin, watery consistency.
- Sweetness Balance: Adjust honey or simple syrup gradually, tasting between additions to ensure the natural peach flavor isn’t overwhelmed by excessive sweetness.
- Texture Troubleshooting: Add ice cubes incrementally if the mixture is too liquid, blending carefully to achieve the ideal thick, frosty slushie consistency.
