Strawberry Sparkling Wine Slushie

Strawberry Sparkling Wine Slushie. A margarita style drink made with the strawberry infused sparkling wine! Fun, fruity and so refreshing!

Hello friends!  How about a fun fruity drink to kick off the week?  Ok, save the recipe for your Friday night shenanigans then!  This is a springy strawberry flavour bursting one.

I’m always game to try new things…especially new food and drinks…and then I invite friends over to try out my new concoctions because what are friends for, right?  It’s a tough job taste testing.  They tell you the truth – the good and the bad – and I love that.  So recently I invited one of my best girlfriends and her family over for a Saturday night dinner, and on the drink menu was this Strawberry Fresita-rita that the hubby and I came up with.

Fresita what?  Fresita-rita!  A margarita style drink but with a strawberry infused sparkling wine added to it.  Yes.  Strawberry sparkling wine.  Yum.  Fresita is an all natural Chilean Sparkling wine infused with strawberries, which is lovely on it’s own, but added to crushed ice, pureed fresh strawberries and a few other fun additions, you get the Strawberry Fresita-rita.  And it’s delish!

Fun, fruity and so refreshing!  Just picture yourself on a sunny deck in the summer with friends and a Strawberry Fresita-rita in your hands?  Ahhhhhh

Recipe Tips:

• You can substitute the Fresita with your favourite fruity sparkling wine.
• Feel free to add more sugar if you feel like your drinks need it.

You may need to add more sugar, depending on how naturally sweet the strawberries you use are! Adjust to taste preference! Also, I loved my drink without the tequila!
