July 4th is nigh upon us, friends! Along with sparklers, sizzling steaks and star-spangled good times, I’m adding slushies to the mix. For your Independence Day bash, serve up a big batch of these patriotic Red, White and Blue Wine Slushies!
Wine slushies are so versatile, you can use the combination of frozen fruit, wine and simple syrup to make dozens of delicious recipes: these Strawberry Wine Slushies, Cherry Red Wine Slushies and Triple Berry Wine Slushies are some flavorful favorites. This patriotic slush boasts not one, not two, but three flavors of wine. It’s the perfect cocktail to serve up at your Fourth of July picnic!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE RED, WHITE AND BLUE SLUSHIES?
Each layer is deliciously different, so let’s start with BLUE:
- For the blue layer, you’ll need blue wine. If you can’t find blue wine, you can always use a good white wine and a little blue food coloring. The result is the perfect color of patriotic blue!
- Frozen bananas
For the WHITE layer:
- White wine, also delicious in these Grapefruit Wine Slushies or this Frozen Sangria Slush.
- Sweetened coconut milk. The flavor is out of this world!
And for the RED:
- Use a beautiful rose wine
- Frozen red tart cherries. They’ll create the perfect red color for this cocktail.
- Simple syrup
HOW TO MAKE PATRIOTIC WINE SLUSHIES
These beauties take a little time to prepare, so make sure to plan ahead. Make these the night before your big bash, freeze, and they’ll be ready to go by party time.
For the BLUE layer:
- Combine blue wine and frozen bananas in a blender.
- If it’s not blue enough for you, add a couple drops of blue food coloring until it’s reached the perfect hue you’re going for.
- Freeze the whole thing in a freezer-safe container overnight.
- You’ll want to blend it up once again before layering into your serving glasses.
- Note: when blending up on the day of serving, make sure to wash your blender thoroughly in between colors, so any residual blue doesn’t affect your white mixture.
For the WHITE layer:
- Combine white wine and sweetened coconut milk in the blender.
- Freeze overnight.
- When ready to serve, give it another good blend.
- Gently spoon mixture over the blue wine in your serving glasses.
For the RED layer:
- Combine the sweet rose wine with tart frozen red cherries and half a cup of simple syrup in the blender.
- Freeze overnight.
- On party day, blend it once again
- Gently spoon your cherry red mixture over the white layer.
The flavors of each wine will gently seep into the others, creating the most radiant and refreshing slush for you and your party guests. Cheers to the red, white, and blue!! Enjoy your holiday!
