Red Wine Slushies

July 8, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I am a huge wine lover but find it hard when the temperatures rise to really enjoy it. Now, I have the perfect recipe for Red Wine Slushies that solves that problem!

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know I am a wine lover. There are few pleasures that I enjoy more than sitting down to relax with a glass of wine in the evening. On a free weekend, you will most definitely find us at one of the local vineyards with a picnic. Red Wine Slushies

Some days, though, even a glass of crisp white wine is just not enough to cool me down. After visiting a local place that served Red Wine Slushies {think a slurpee with wine}, I knew I had to learn to make them at home for those super hot days.

Now, before the wine aficionados start shaking their head and liking this to throwing ice cubes in wine, I want to make it clear that this should really be view more as a cocktail than like a glass of wine.

Heck, even drink it something other than a wine glass if you are worried about the backlash from fellow wine lovers. But, you will definitely want to try it…I promise!

Oh a red wine slushie sounds amazing when it is 100 degrees outside! Easy Red Wine Slushies

Now, these Red Wine Slushies are geared to those folks who just don’t do sweet drinks. Sure, this is going to be sweeter than a glass of red wine but it definitely isn’t sweet like a Moscato or Riesling. My favorite version was when I used Cabernet Sauvignon.

I totally understand that some of the prices on Cab Sauv can be high and you wouldn’t want to “waste” a bottle on a slushie so feel free to substitute with a similar but lower priced wine.

Fantastic idea to make a red wine slushie for hot days.

Doesn’t that look so refreshing?! I keep a bag of the red {and white which I will share later} in my freezer now for when the temperature is topping out close to 100 and I want a cool drink while relaxing on the deck.

    Sounds great, how much water do you add? Water wasn’t listed in the ingredients. Thanks!
