Ingredients
Slushies
750milliliterssweet white wine (Riesling or Moscato),divided into 1 cup portions and chilled
2cupsfrozen strawberries
2cupsice cubes,divided in half
2cupsfrozen pineapple
Fresh strawberry or pineapple slice for garnish, optional
Simple Syrup
½cupgranulated sugar
½cupwater
Instructions
Make the simple syrup by heating ½ cup water in a microwave-safe bowl (a glass measuring cup with a spout works great) for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave and add ½ cup of sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Set aside and allow to cool while you gather your remaining ingredients.
In the container of your blender add 1 cup chilled white wine, 2 cups frozen strawberries, 1 cup ice, and ¼ cup simple syrup.
Blend on high (or the smoothie setting if you have it on your blender) for 2 minutes or until smooth, and no chunks of fruit or ice remain.
Pour your slushie into a pitcher or large glass jar, rinse out your blender container, and repeat with your second fruit flavor. Combine the frozen pineapple, wine, ice, and simple syrup until smooth.
In the bottom half of a wine glass, spoon ½ cup of your strawberry slushie, then top that by spooning a ½ cup of pineapple slushie on top. You can garnish your glass with a piece of fresh pineapple and a fresh strawberry.
Notes
If you are serving this for guests, you can make as many fruit flavor choices as you would like and allow party guests to create their own favorite fruit combinations.
If you are using a dryer white wine, like a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, we would suggest that you increase the amount of simple syrup to ½ cup per flavor blend. That would mean doubling your Simple Syrup recipe.
You may have wine left over after making the two flavors of slushie. You can either use it to make another fruity flavor or save it for later.
