Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Frozen Peach Slices: Using frozen peaches is a game-changer! They keep your slushy cold and fruity. You can also use fresh peaches if you freeze them ahead of time. Just peel and slice them, then pop them in the freezer for a couple of hours.
White Wine: I love using Moscato for its sweetness, but any white wine works! If you want it less sweet, pick a drier wine like Pinot Grigio. You could also try a non-alcoholic white grape juice for a mocktail version!
Honey or Agave Syrup: This ingredient is optional depending on your taste. If you prefer a less sweet drink, skip it or adjust to your liking. You can also use sugar or a sugar substitute if that’s what you have on hand.
How to Blend the Perfect Slushy?
The key to a great peach wine slushy is the blending technique. You want a smooth, icy texture without big chunks. Here’s how to nail it:
- Start with the frozen peaches at the bottom, followed by ice cubes. This helps everything blend evenly.
- Consider blending in batches if your blender has a hard time; that way, you can get a nice consistent slush.
- If it’s too thick, add a splash of wine to help it blend smoothly. Just be sure not to overdo it!

FAQ for Easy Peach Wine Slushies
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Frozen?
Yes! If you prefer fresh peaches, just peel and slice them, then freeze them for a couple of hours before using. This ensures your slushies have that icy, frosty texture!
How Can I Make This Recipe Non-Alcoholic?
To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the white wine with white grape juice or sparkling grape juice. You’ll still get that refreshing fruity flavor without the alcohol!
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer, but keep in mind that the texture may change once frozen. To enjoy again, let it thaw slightly, then re-blend for a refreshing treat!
How Can I Adjust the Sweetness?
It’s easy to adjust sweetness! Start with the recommended amount of honey or agave syrup, then taste the mixture. Add more if you like it sweeter; just remember that the frozen peaches will add some natural sugars too!
