4large fresh peachespits removed, cut into chunks OR 4 cups frozen peaches
½cupgranulated sugar
4oz.vodkawe used Ketel One Botanical Peach and Orange Blossom vodka
Instructions
Add fruit, sugar, the entire bottle of wine, and vodka to a blender.
Blend until all of the fruit is finely pureed.
Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve to sift out pieces of peach skin if you prefer.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 freezer-safe dish.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
After mixture has frozen through, use an ice cream scoop to scrape the mixture into frozen granules and fill four wine glasses.
Garnish with fresh peaches and/or berries and serve!
Notes
Mixture will keep in the freezer for up to two weeks. Once the slushie has been taken from the freezer, it will melt. Uncontaminated, melted slushies can be refrozen in a flat shallow dish for rescooping. Cover frozen slushie mixture with plastic wrap if storing in the freezer for more than 1 day.This will fill four stemless wine glasses.You could use simple syrup instead of the sugar - use about ¼ cup of simple syrup and then taste the mixture to test for sweetness and adjust.I recommend the freeze and scrape/scoop method over blending the wine with ice. You can control when to serve and when to consume the slushie if the mixture is prepared in the freezer. You can even pre-scoop the slushies, garnish and then pop in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. Or prepare the pan in advance and scrape and serve when guests arrive.I also like to keep extra water out of the mixture so that it doesn’t dilute the wine or the flavor.Of course, for a no-wait method, go ahead and process the mixture through a sieve to remove seeds and then blend portions with ice for an immediate slushie - note that this type of slushie will melt much more quickly.
