As the temps continue to rise and show no signs of dropping, we’re looking for every way to stay cool this summer. As you know, we’re big fans of light and refreshing wines, so this month we’re taking our favorites and turning them into frozen wine slushies! Mix up your drink routine with one of these frozen cocktails and a few perfect bottles for blending.
Watermelon Wine Slushie
Blend your leftover watermelon with a good-quality white wine, such as Oyster Bay New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc ($11), with its citrus and tropical notes, and you’ll have the perfect pool-side sipper from Boulder Locavore. A squeeze of lime and a sprig of mint give it zest; for another level of flavor, add a splash of elderflower liqueur.
Frozen Peach Wine Slushie
Get your blender ready for this simple two-ingredient cocktail from The Forked Spoon! With only frozen peaches and wine of your choice, it really doesn’t get easier than this. We recommend the Josh Cellars Prosecco ($15) for a refreshing effervescent fizz!
Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
Frosé has become a summer classic. One of Tanji’s personal favorites, this rosey wine is so refreshing when blended with strawberries, lemon juice, and a touch of sugar. Try this recipe from Bon Appétit with Stella Rosa Ruby Rosé Grapefruit ($10) for an added touch of fragrant grapefruit juice.
Blackberry Slushie
Freeze a bushel of your juicy end-of-season blackberries for this cooling drink from The View from Great Island. Simply wash and dry your berries and pop them in the freezer for an hour or two until they’re frozen solid, then blend! We suggest you use Don Simon Flowers Sangria ($7)—the dark blackberry goes so well with the rich fruit and spice notes of this red wine sangria.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LOCATE THE RECIPES SHE SPOKE OF, BUT WITH NO SUCCESS.
IS THIS SOME KIND SKAM OR IS SHE REALLY LEGIMATE? DOES HEB KNOW SHE IS OFFERING BUT WILL NOT PRODUCE. I DO WANT THE RECIPES AND I ALWAYS BUY MY WINE AT HEB. HAS MODERATE SUCCESS GONE TO HER HEAD? IS THIS SOMETHING I NEED TO TAKE UP WITH HEB HOME OFFICE?
PLEASE ME KNOW.
THANK YOU,
