Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Fruits
- 4 cups seedless watermelon chunks, chilled
- 2 cups fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and chopped
Liquids & Sweeteners
- 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio), chilled
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Others
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and hull the strawberries. Roughly chop the strawberries and seedless watermelon into chunks to ensure easy blending and a smooth slush consistency.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the watermelon chunks, strawberries, lemon juice, and optional honey or agave syrup into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Wine and Ice: Pour in the chilled white wine and add a handful of ice cubes. Pulse the blender a few times until the ice breaks down and the mixture reaches a slushy texture, perfect for immediate sipping.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the slushie. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or agave syrup. If too thick, add a splash more wine or cold water to loosen the texture.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the slushie into glasses, garnish as desired with mint sprigs, watermelon slices, or strawberries, and enjoy the cool, fruity goodness right away.
Notes
- Chill all ingredients beforehand for the frostiest slushie results.
- Use a high-powered blender to achieve a smooth, icy texture.
- Adjust sweetness based on the ripeness of your fruit and personal preference—always taste as you go.
- Pulse gently after adding ice to avoid a watery slush texture.
- Use the freshest fruit and wine for peak flavor and natural brightness.
- Leftover slushies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir or re-blend before serving.
- Freeze slushies in ice cube trays for later use; simply pulse frozen cubes with wine or cold liquid to refresh the texture.
