Peach Sangria Slushie

This white wine cocktail is a great frozen treat for yourself on a hot summer evening or while entertaining friends. It’s extra fun, super beautiful and tastes refreshingly AMAZING! The combination of ingredients create the perfect blend of flavour and sweetness. I really recommend adding mint as a garnish --- as the drink melts, the mint complements the peach and enhances the flavours.

This recipe does take some time to prepare. I suggest planning ahead by starting to make the simple syrup a day or two in advance.

The amount of ingredients noted are for a two serving portion.

Simple Syrup:

• ½ cup water
• ½ cup white granulated sugar

Wine/Spirits:

• 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine, I prefer Sauvignon Blanc
• 1 ½ oz. brandy

Fruit:

• 1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup (250 mL) frozen peach slices

Garnish:

• Mint Sprigs
• Straws

• Measuring glass
• Small Pot
• Spoon
• Airtight containers
• Shot glass
• Blender
• Wine glasses

Simple syrup is simple to make!

Put ½ cup water in a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Once water comes to a boil, remove from heat and add in ½ cup sugar.

Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Transfer the mixture into a small airtight container. Store in the fridge until chilled.

Notes:

• This makes more than is required, but I like to make extra just to have on hand for the another batch of slushies.
• You will also need the simple syrup for the next step, so make sure you allow enough time for it to chill.
• Alternatively to using a pot, you could boil water in a kettle and add ½ cup boiling water to ½ cup sugar and stir until dissolved.

Pour 1 oz lemon juice, 1 ½ oz brandy, 1 ½ oz simple syrup, and 1 cup wine into an airtight container.

Place container in freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours or up to 3 days.

The mixture will freeze, but not completely, so you’ll still be able to scoop it out.

Remove drink mixture from freezer.

Add the frozen drink mixture and 1 cup of frozen peaches to the blender.

Blend until smooth.

Divide the Sangria Slushie, using a spoon, into two wine glasses.

Garnish with mint sprigs.

Serve with straws or long spoons.

Enjoy (responsibly of course)!

Note: Feel free to chill the wine glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes before blending the drink.
