750-milliliterbottle of sweet red wine such as a Moscato
4cupsfrozen mixed berrieswe used raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry, plus more for garnish (or use fresh berries)
12ouncesof ginger ale
Instructions
Add the frozen fruit and the entire bottle of wine to a blender.
Blend until all of the fruit is finely pureed.
Add one can of ginger ale to the blender and then pulse carefully just enough to mix the fruit and wine mixture with the soda.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to sift out the berry seeds. Use a spatula to push the mixture through the sieve. Discard seeds.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch freezer-safe dish.
Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. The more frozen the mixture is, the longer the slushie will stay “slushie.”
After the mixture has frozen through, use an ice cream scoop to scrape the mixture into frozen granules and fill four wine glasses.
Garnish with fresh berries, and serve!

Notes
Storage: Keep the slushie mixture in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Uncontaminated slushies can be refrozen if needed, then rescooped for serving.Notes:This slushie recipe will fill 4 stemless wine glasses. These are not overly sweet. The combination of berry and ginger ale allows the wine flavors to shine.To make the slushies sweeter, use simple syrup instead of soda.If you blend the wine mixture with ice to serve immediately, know they do melt faster. I like making them ahead of time using the freezer method to control the serving and consumption so they don't melt before we are ready.Not adding ice also preserves the wine flavor and doesn't dilute.
