Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen fruit, such as strawberries, peaches, mango, mixed berries, or cherries
- 2 cups your favourite flavour of Niagara Mist wine
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Steps:
- Combine fruit, wine, and syrup in a blender.
- Blend until smooth. TIP: If using berries with seeds, strain before proceeding, if desired.
- Pour into 2 ice cube trays.
- Freeze at least 4 hours, or until firm. TIP: 'Wine cubes' can be transferred to a zip top bag and stored in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- Transfer 'wine cubes' to blender and blend until slushy. TIP: Add a splash of Niagara Mist wine to adjust consistency to taste.
- Pour into stemmed glasses to serve. Serve with straw or spoon if desired.
Additional Tips:
For a granita-style slushy, pour the mixture into an 8-inch square, baking dish. Freeze for at least 6 hours. Use a fork to scrape into a slushy texture. Spoon into glasses. Serve with a spoon or top with additional wine for a drinkable dessert.
For a two-tone slushy, combine half each of the wine and syrup with two contrasting fruits (such as blueberry and peaches or mango and strawberry). Freeze each combo in an ice cube tray. Blend cubes in batches and alternately pour into glasses.
Try an endless variety of fruit & Niagara Mist wine combinations!
Makes 4 servings.
Cheers!
