Wine slushies are the perfect way to enjoy a refreshing, boozy treat on a warm day! Whether you're hosting a summer party, lounging by the pool, or just craving something delicious, a wine slushie is an easy and fun option. In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about making the perfect wine slushie using Stirred Kitchen Companies mix, the best wines to use, and creative ways to serve them.
What is a Wine Slushie?
A wine slushie is a frozen cocktail made by blending wine with a special dry mix to create a smooth, icy drink that’s both refreshing and flavorful. With Stirred Kitchen Co's boozy slushie mixes, you can create endless variations using your favorite wines or even hard alcohol.
We Love Wine Slushies
We absolutely love hosting, and these wine slushies are always a huge hit! Anytime we have people over or are invited to an event, this is the drink everyone asks for. They’re so unique and flavorful that they quickly become a favorite at any gathering.
Living in Central Valley, California, where summer temperatures soar, these slushies became my go-to drink all season long. There’s nothing better than floating in the pool with a perfectly chilled wine slushie in hand. And for the kids, I simply swap out the wine for ginger ale to make a refreshing, non-alcoholic version they love just as much!
How to Make the Perfect Wine Slushie
Making a wine slushie with Stirred Kitchen Companies mix is simple, and you can prepare it in two ways: the freezer method or the quick blender method.
Freezer Method (Slow & Smooth)
-
In a Tupperware container, combine 1 bag of Stirred Kitchen Boozy Slushie Mix, 1 bottle of wine, and 3 cups of water.
-
Stir well until the mix is completely dissolved.
-
Cover and freeze for approximately 6 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the flavor from settling at the bottom.
-
If it freezes too much, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving—this will bring it back to the perfect slush consistency.
-
Scoop into glasses, garnish as desired, and enjoy!
Quick Blender Method (Fast & Refreshing)
-
Combine half a bag of Alchemy Salt Lab Wine Slushie Mix with half a bottle of wine in a blender.
-
Blend until the mix is completely dissolved.
-
Fill the blender with ice and blend until you reach a smooth, slushy consistency.
-
Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Pro Tip: You can substitute the wine with hard alcohol for a stronger cocktail twist!
Best Wines for Slushies
Not all wines work equally well for slushies. Here are some top choices based on the flavor profile you’re going for:
-
White Wine: Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato (light, crisp, and refreshing)
-
Rosé Wine: Dry or semi-sweet rosé (adds a fruity and floral touch)
-
Red Wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Zinfandel (for bold, rich slushies)
-
Sparkling Wine: Prosecco or Champagne (adds an effervescent twist)
Tips for the Best Wine Slushies
-
Stir the freezer mix occasionally to prevent the flavor from settling.
-
Pre-freeze your wine in ice cube trays for an even smoother texture when using the blender method.
How to Serve & Enjoy Boozy Slushies
-
Serve in wine glasses, mason jars, or fun cocktail glasses for a stylish presentation.
-
Garnish with fresh fruit slices, mint leaves, or edible flowers for a fancy touch.
-
Pair with cheese boards, light appetizers, or summer salads for a perfect match.
