Sangria Slushies

Yes, both white and rosé sangria work equally well with this same ice cube tray technique. Simply freeze whichever wine you prefer into cubes and follow the same blending process for a similarly refreshing frozen cocktail.

You can freeze the wine cubes the night before or several days ahead of time, whichever is more convenient for your schedule. Having them ready in advance makes this an easy last-minute option for summer entertaining.

Let the wine cubes sit at room temperature for a few minutes if your blender struggles to process them straight from the freezer. Pulsing in short bursts rather than blending continuously can also help break up the ice.

Yes, substitute the red wine with freshly squeezed grape juice or unsweetened cranberry juice frozen into cubes, and simply omit the brandy entirely. The orange juice and honey will still give it that same bright, sweet slushy flavor.

Simply scale up the recipe based on how many people you’re serving, freezing extra wine into cubes ahead of time to keep up with demand. Blending in smaller batches usually gives the smoothest, most slushy texture.
