Cool off this weekend with a couple of Frozen Sangria Slushies! There’s no need to wait hours while your fruit to soaks in red wine, when you can blend it all up with brandy, orange liqueur, and cinnamon in just a few seconds. You’ll love this refreshing twist on the classic cocktail!
Happy Friday, friends! I want to start out with a heartfelt thank you to all my friends who left me such supportive comments on my last post! I’m feeling much better now and just doing my best to get caught up.
Thankfully, it’s almost the weekend and I’m looking forward to a low-key one at home, before we leave for our family vacation next week. Let’s kick things off with a fun cocktail!
Lately, I’ve been making berry slushies like it’s my job . When it’s hot and sticky and I need a refresher, I just blend up some frozen berries with a little water and it cools everything right down. And I’ve been loving all the wine slushy recipes I’ve been seeing around the web lately. So that’s basically what this is, with a little added kick from brandy and orange liqueur, plus a pinch of cinnamon for that really authentic sangria flavor.
All the fruits! Frozen 🙂 You can use any kind of fruit or combination of fruits you like, but I went with pineapple, peaches, and mixed berries, and I found that it tasted EXACTLY like my favorite sangria. Like the most perfectly balanced red wine sangria.
Frozen Sangria Slushies
Cool off this weekend with a couple of Frozen Sangria Slushies! There's no need to wait hours while your fruit to soaks in red wine, when you can blend it all up with brandy, orange liqueur, and cinnamon in just a few seconds. You'll love this refreshing twist on the classic cocktail!
Yield: 2-3 servings
Ingredients:

- 2 ounces brandy
- 2 ounces triple sec orange liqueur
- 3 cups frozen fruit (I used peaches, pineapples, and mixed berries)
- a pinch of ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Place all the ingredients in a blender and puree. Serve cold.
Honestly? I may never bother with letting fruit sit in wine for hours on end ever again. This comes together in seconds and it’s so deliciously cold and refreshing! Cheers!
Ahhh girl! We’re both totally on the same boozy slushie wavelength today! I love it. 🙂 I’m absolutely drooling over these gorgeous babies! What a perfect way to get your sangria fix without having to wait all those hours!
Oh yeah? I’ve gotta click over and see what you’ve got! Thanks so much sweetie and happy Friday!
This looks crazy delicious! Loving the berries 🙂
Thanks Medha! The berries complement the red wine like whoa. Hope you have a great weekend sweetie!
I would never think to make sangria into a slushie! This is genius. Love it and definitely doing it this weekend. It’s going to be a hot one here!
Ooh yay! I sure hope you enjoy Liz! Thanks so much and have a great weekend 😀
I’ve seriously been craving Sangria for MONTHS…but never find a restaurant that sells it. Guess I need to suck it up and make it myself…and make it THIS frosty version! Can’t wait for 5 o’clock! Pinned!
Woohoo! And with all that fruit you may even be able to argue that it’s healthy (?). Thanks for pinning Taylor!
Frozen? Genius! Can I have one for breakfast?
I can’t think of a single reason why not 😉 Thanks Jocelyn!
Looks amazing! Never thought of making a blended sangria, can’t wait to try it!
I may never go back to the regular way, Mel! So glad you like the idea and I hope you enjoy!
Allie, I’m all over this!!!! I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a frozen sangria slushie before?!!! I LOVE THIS!
I’ve never had one either but it seemed like a good idea so I just went for it! And I loved it 🙂 Thanks so much Alice!
Perfect for the HOT and STEAMY weekend ahead Allie! Cheers!
Right?! Thanks so much Mary Ann- have a great one and STAY COOL!
I’m a sangria fanatic so this recipe is pretty much perfect! So glad to hear you are feeling better, Allie.Your upcoming family vacation will give you a chance to step away also, which always helps refresh the mind. Have a great weekend!
Thank you my dear, and you as well! xo
This looks phenomenal!! It hasn’t been too hot in Michigan this summer but I still haven’t acclimated to the humidity (thanks to growing up in CA), so this looks like the perfect treat to help me stay cool. I’m looking forward to trying it- thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
Sometimes the humidity can be worse than the heat! Either way these are sure to make you feel right as rain. Thanks and I hope you enjoy, dear!
Yay, Allie! I am so glad you are feeling better- must be all that soul baking (which I still have to do!). And I am SURE knocking back a couple of these frozen beauties HAD to help! These are so gorge, girlfriend! And I looove the flavors! Brandy, orange liqueur, and cinnamon whirled together with summa-tastic fruit sounds like the ULTIMATE way to start the weekend! These are definitely happening today in my house! Pinned! Cheers girl, and happy friday!!
Oh yeah!!! Hope you enjoy!
Happy Friday! And what a perfect way to celebrate the weekend! I can’t think of a better way to cool off and actually enjoy the heat, than throwing back a few of these! Cheers, darlin’ 🙂
Cheers to you! So happy you like the idea. Hope you have a great weekend Kathleen! xo
This looks like the perfect refreshing drink!
Thanks so much Julianne! Have a great weekend hon!
These slushies sound perfect! It’s like a frozen sangria as opposed to sangria on the rocks. Yum!
Yes! And I think I prefer slush to rocks 😉 Thanks Shelby!
I’m so taking these poolside!
Mind if I join you???
The color of this slushy is beautiful! Great recipe for many occasions. 🙂
Thanks so much sweetie! Hope your week is off to a great start 😉
Oooh what a fun idea! I love sangria! These slushies look so perfect for this weekend!
Thanks Michelle! It was a perfect weekend for a blended drink on the patio, wasn’t it? So happy you liked this; thanks!
Don’t mind if I do. 🙂 I like sangria, even the fruit, but it can be a bit awkward to eat. Blending it never occurred to me! Such a great idea.
Thanks Marissa! I like all of it, the wine, the fruit, everything! But sometimes that craving hits and I want it NOW- not hours from now 😉 I loved how fast this recipe was. Thanks again dear and have a great week!
The slushies look delicious! So refreshing, I absolutely love sangria so I would definitely love these! Perfect summer drink! 😀
I love it too Jess! These totally knocked my socks off. Thanks so much sweetie and have a great week!
Perfection! Lovin’ all that frozen fruitiness!
Thanks so much Melanie! Hope you’re having a great week, dear 🙂
This must be an ode to the perfect summer refreshing beverage, its versatile, its BEAUTIFUL, and everyone will love it, making it for sure for our pools party!
Ooh I want to come! J/k 😉 Sounds like a perfect thing to serve your guests though. I hope everyone enjoys! Thanks Katalina!
You’re speaking my language! These are stunning and look absolutely delicious. I love that you piled every summer fruit variety into the blender.
YES! All the fruits plus wine. This is what summer’s all about 😉 So happy you like, Jennie! Thanks for the sweet comment!
Great recipe! LOVE sangria- frozen sounds amazing!
Thank you so much Jessica! I really loved it 🙂
Have you ever made it without the brandy?
Hey Terizia! You can absolutely leave out the brandy if you’d prefer. It would still taste delicious! Good luck and enjoy!
