The wine slushie is the drink that made our patio famous in Prince Edward County. The good news: you can make a very respectable version at home with a blender and frozen fruit. The better news: come have ours, which we’ve been pouring longer than anyone in the County. More on the Traynor wine slushie.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled rose or Piquette
- 3 cups frozen peaches (or frozen strawberries / mixed berries)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or sugar, optional
- Squeeze of lime
- Ice, as needed
How to make it
- Add the chilled wine, frozen fruit, optional sweetener, and a squeeze of lime to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and slushy. Too thin? Add a handful of ice. Too thick? A splash more wine.
- Taste, adjust the sweetness, and pour into chilled glasses.
Makes 2 to 3 slushies at roughly 6 to 8% ABV.
Make it non-alcoholic
Swap the wine for white grape juice or peach juice and blend the same way — a hit with kids and anyone not drinking. (We pour non-alcoholic slushies on the patio too.)
Tips
Frozen fruit instead of ice is the secret — it keeps the flavour concentrated instead of watering it down. A fruit-forward rose or a Piquette works best; save your serious bottles for the glass. Serve immediately; slushies wait for no one.
Don’t own a blender powerful enough? Ours are $10 on the patio menu, and the Wine Slushy and Charcuterie Escape comes with a 4L jug for your group.
