These Easy Peach Wine Slushies are the perfect refreshing treat for warm days! Made with sweet peaches and your favorite white wine, they are icy and delicious.
Honestly, who can resist a chilly drink that feels like summer in a glass? I like to serve mine at parties—it’s fun to see everyone enjoying them! 🍑
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Frozen Peach Slices: Using frozen peaches gives the slushies a chilled texture without needing to add too much ice. If you can’t find frozen peaches, fresh ripe peaches work too—just cut them up and freeze them for a few hours beforehand.
White Wine: Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are great choices for a crisp taste. If you’re looking to avoid alcohol, try using a non-alcoholic wine, or switch to sparkling grape juice for a fun twist!
Peach Juice or Nectar: This ingredient enhances the peach flavor, but if it’s not available, you could use apple juice or even orange juice for a different fruity note. I love adding a splash of lemon or lime juice for brightness!
Honey or Simple Syrup: The sweetener is optional, depending on how sweet your peaches and juice are. You could also use agave syrup or omit it altogether for a lower sugar version. Just taste as you blend!
How Do I Achieve the Perfect Slushy Texture?
Getting that slushy consistency is key to these drinks! Start by blending your ingredients until smooth, but if they’re too thin, here’s what you can do:
- Add a handful of ice cubes to thicken your slushy. Blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Blend in short bursts to avoid overworking it—this helps maintain a thick slushy instead of turning it into juice.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the icy chill. Letting it sit might cause it to melt a bit!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead of Frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Simply slice and freeze them for a few hours before blending to get that slushy texture. If you’re in a hurry, blending fresh peaches with ice can also work, but the texture may be slightly different.
How Do I Adjust the Sweetness?
Taste the mixture after blending! If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or simple syrup a little at a time, and blend again until it reaches your ideal sweetness level. Adjusting it via the peach juice or nectar can also enhance sweetness without adding too much sugar.
Can I Make These Slushies Alcohol-Free?
Absolutely! Just replace the white wine with a non-alcoholic wine or sparkling grape juice for a bubbly, fruity version that everyone can enjoy.
How Should I Store Leftovers?
If you have any slushy leftover, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 days. Just keep in mind that it may not maintain its slushy texture after refreezing, so it’s best enjoyed fresh!
