How long do you have to freeze the wine before it is turned into a slushy?
It takes about two hours to freeze wine into a slushy. The actual time depends on how cold your freezer is and how much wine you’re using. If you’re using a standard kitchen freezer, we recommend freezing the wine in small batches so that it freezes faster and you can enjoy your slushy sooner.
To make a wine slushy, start by freezing your wine in a large container or freezer bag overnight. If you’re using a bottle of wine, we recommend pouring it into a bag first so that it freezes evenly. The next day, remove the frozen wine from the container and let it thaw for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to break up the wine into smaller pieces.
Once the wine is thawed, put it into a blender or food processor and blend until it reaches the desired consistency. If the wine is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or juice to help thin it out. Once it reaches the perfect consistency, pour it into a glass and enjoy!
How to make wine slushies without a blender
Assuming you don’t have access to a blender, there are still a few ways you can make a wine slushie! One method is to simply pour your wine into an ice cube tray and freeze it. Once the wine cubes are frozen, put them in a sealable bag and store them in the freezer. When you’re ready for your slushie, put the wine cubes in a glass and top with a little seltzer water or club soda. The wine will start to thaw and create a slushie-like consistency. Another method is to make a simple syrup by boiling sugar and water together in a 1:1 ratio. Once the syrup has cooled, mix it with your wine in a sealable bag and store it in the freezer. The syrup will help keep the wine from freezing solid, and you can add more or less syrup to adjust the sweetness level to your liking. When you’re ready for your slushie, pour the wine mixture into a glass and top with seltzer or club soda.
