Easy Wine SLUSHY Recipes (Frozen Rosé with Peaches or Cherries)
Summer calls for something cold, festive and effortless, and a wine slushy delivers all three. This is my go-to wine slushy recipe using frozen rosé blended with either cherries or ripe peaches and a mint-infused simple syrup. Two variations, one easy method, and the perfect thing to pull out of the freezer on a hot Montana evening or take down to the lake.
What is a wine slushy?
I give you two cocktails for the price of one. Frosé or rather- frozen Rosé wine- mixed with either mint infused simple syrup and frozen peaches or cherries. It is bright and sweet without tasting like a dacquiri.
If you do not have time to freeze the Rosé, a well chilled bottle will work fine- the beverage will just not be as slushy.
The mint infusion gives the cocktail even more boldness. Mint cuts through the sugar making this cocktail more enjoyable to drink.
Choose a bold Rosé. You do not want an inexpensive bottle. Ask your local wine merchant for help on this.
How to Make Wine Slushies or Frosé:
Pour your bottle of Rosé in a pan or glass dish in the morning and let it freeze throughout the day. Add a tiny drizzle of grenadine to Rosé- really just for color.
Make a simple syrup and let chill all day as well.
In a blender combine frozen wine, simple syrup and frozen fruit. Garnish with mint or slices of more fruit. Serve in ice cold glasses.

Common Question about Wine Slushies:
Yes, In fact, the longer they freeze, the better the flavors will develop.
We like a light and fruity rosé, sparkling rosé or Riesling. Red wines can overpower the fruit and white wines can be too oaky.
Yes! There are lots of NA wines onto market now. Just ask your local wine shop or specialty grocery store for a suggestion. You can also try this recipe using a shrub and sparkling water that you freeze.
