Hello friends! How about fun and fruity cocktails to kick off the week? Save this recipe for a hot summer weekend…these strawberry wine slushies are refreshing and delicious!

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 were these Strawberry Wine Slushies!

Strawberry Wine Slushies Recipe Tips:

• Sparkling Wine: You can use any of your favourite fruity sparkling wines. Strawberry sparkling wine is particularly delicious. You can also use non-flavoured sparkling wines or even prosecco.
• Strawberries: I like to use fresh strawberries but you can use frozen as well. If you use frozen strawberries, cut back on the ice.
• Sweetness: You may need to add more sugar to your slushies, depending on how naturally sweet the strawberries are that you use. Or, instead of adding sugar, try adding this rhubarb simple syrup. YUM!
• Tequila: Feel free to leave the tequila out if you wish. These are delicious with out it!
• Glasses: I like to use margarita glasses because we can line the rims with salt and sugar. But you can also use a wine glass and do the same thing.

FAQs

Do I have to use sparkling wine?

No! Feel free to use any wine. Use white wine like pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc or moscato to make white wine slushies, or try rosé to make a frosé. So many options.

What can I use instead of strawberries?

You can make this drink with any kind of fresh or frozen fruit like pineapple, peaches, raspberries, mango, blueberries, blackberries…the flavour possibilities are endless.
