Wine Slushies Are Officially The Trendiest Drink Of The Season
It’s officially spring, and we’re just a step away from garnishing our water bottles with tiny umbrellas if only to pretend we’re on vacation. But, thanks to a few amazing new wine concoctions that have basically taken over Pinterest, pretending just became a little easier.
Prepare to be dazzled by the wine slushie.
The Strawberry Peach Wine Slushie
Make this unbelievably refreshing summer beverage by Dessert for Two a reality with just three ingredients – one bottle of white wine; two peaches, blanched, peeled, sliced and frozen; and two cups of strawberries, sliced and frozen.
Recipe instructions:
Combine the wine and peaches in a blender and puree until the mixture is smooth. If you find that the mix is too liquefied, just place it in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes until the perfect slushy texture forms.
Frozen Bellini
If you have five minutes to spare, then you can make a delicious glass of frozen bubbly peach bellinis for the entire office. This three-ingredient masterpiece calls for three cups of frozen peach slices, one cup of mango nectar, and one 750-ml bottle of chilled Prosecco.
Recipe instructions:
Blend the peach slices and mango nectar until smooth. Pour the fruity mix into champagne flutes until they’re half full. Then fill the glasses with Prosecco and proceed to be the coolest person in the office this Friday.
