Peach Moscato Wine Slushies
Wheeeew I’z tiiiiiiide! Not tired but tiiiiide! We got back from visiting the in-laws several days ago and I’m just now getting caught up on sleep, homeschool, cleaning, and all that jazz. Going on a “vacation” is definitely a chore with a super curious and freakishly mobile baby. My little Ethan doesn’t sleep good at all when he’s not in his own bed and I spent most of the time either A.) holding him since he’s cranky and clingy from lack of sleep or B.) chasing him around to make sure he isn’t eating something he shouldn’t or tearing something apart. Exhausting!!
I’m so looking forward to the days when a vacation will actually feel like a vacation (although I’m not rushing these precious baby years) When I got home I decided to give myself a little vacation from my vacation by kicking back with these frosty peach moscato wine slushies. It was heaven I tell ya and MUCH needed. Aren’t they gorg!?!
Every summer I usually have a “drink of choice”. Last year I was all about these real watermelon slushies but summer of 2014 belongs to wine slushies baby!!! These wine slushies are the stuff that good times are made out of my friends!! Super simple too and they taste waaaaay better then those wine slush powder mixes you get from the store. Just grab a bottle of your favorite sweet dessert wine, some fresh fruit, sugar and boom!!! Within a few hours you’ll be on your own mini vacation as well.
It is wrong that I’ve made them in a gazillion flavor combinations already? I just love having a little frosty adult treat waiting for me whenever I want it. Just pop out the lil cubes, blend and it’s ready
I couldn’t decide for the life of me which one to present to you guys because honestly you can’t go wrong with any dessert wine and your favorite fruit but Peach Moscato is definitely one of my favs!! You can get really creative and tropical and mix a variety of different fruits together if you wish.
But let me warn you… ONCE YOU MAKE THAT FIRST BATCH YOU WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THEM….OFTEN!! Matter of fact I have two freezer bags full of wine slushie ice cubes right now in strawberry peach and raspberry lime flavors.
You will think of any reason to make them; pool parties, cookouts, girls night, book clubs, reality tv treat, whatever!!! These wine slushies are sexy, delicious, addictive, fun, festive, and perfect for any occasion or no occasion at all.
I’m so looking forward to my next cookout so I can stash the freezer with all different flavors and colors of wine slushies cubes. This totally beats having to mix up a ton of different cocktails.
Watch me make these Peach Moscato Wine Slushies from start to finish!

Notes
Hi Monique,
I had commented on your orange cake once before, but I have another comment. I think that your slush would be great to with a cake made by cooking with Carolyn too. it’s a peach moscoto cake. I have made it, and it’s delicious. Maybe you two should collaborate together one day.
I’m quite sure that it will be fun.
Do you really need to do the pre-freezing or is it OK to just throw it all in a blender and serve immediately?
It definitely helps with the texture.
Delicious and super easy to make! I love them. I make them for girls night in and also for movie night at home with hubby. I have shared this recipe with many of my friends, great reviews.
I was scrolling through pinterest at 11:30pm… saw this.. went to the store.. got frozen peaches and stella rosa moscato.. came home.. enjoyed my after midnight slushie. So so SO good. I used granulated sugar, perhaps too much, considering how i forgot how sweet stella rosa is on its own.. but once you do ice chips its perfect. Also could probably blend the frozen cubes with vodka (for the lush in me) cause stella rosa is only 5% alcohol.
I don’t drink any alcohol at all so what can I substitute for the wine?
Lemonade
What is the white that’s shown in the photos? I watched the video just to see what that is, and you didn’t do it!
When she pored it into the glass the glass froze from the coldness or she used glasses that were in the freezer.
