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!
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.
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!

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!

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!
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
Perfect for the HOT and STEAMY weekend ahead Allie! Cheers!
Right?! Thanks so much Mary Ann- have a great one and STAY COOL!
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!
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!
Frozen? Genius! Can I have one for breakfast?
I can't think of a single reason why not 😉 Thanks Jocelyn!
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!
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 😀
