Wine lovers, rejoice! When we discover a way to indulge in our favorite vintages or craft cocktails, it’s a wonderful day indeed. And what better way to do so than with a refreshing wine slushy? This delightful treat requires only three essential components: frozen strawberries, sparkling white wine, and simple syrup.
For those who prefer the DIY approach, you can easily concoct your own simple syrup by mixing equal parts water and sugar, then heating the mixture until the sugar dissolves. Alternatively, you can purchase pre-made simple syrup at your local liquor store or find it in the mixers aisle of your grocery store.
To elevate this wine slushy to new heights, consider garnishing with a fresh strawberry or a lime wedge. This added touch not only adds visual appeal but also provides a delightful burst of flavor.

Dirty Banana Frozen Cocktail
The dirty banana frozen drink is another unique concoction that shares some similarities with its frozen mudslide counterpart. Both drinks feature Kahlua, chocolate syrup, and crushed ice as core ingredients. However, the dirty banana takes things to a new level by incorporating dark rum, heavy cream, a frozen banana, and cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez or Coco Real) into its recipe.

The next step is to combine these ingredients in a blender until smooth. Then, it’s time to add the liquor – white rum, aged rum, or gold rum will all do the trick. In addition to the rum, you’ll also want to incorporate cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and a splash of fresh lime juice (or Rose’s Lime Juice for a touch of authenticity). Once everything is well mixed, pour your concoction into a glass and top it off with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, and a whimsical cocktail umbrella. Voilà!

To do so, combine all the ingredients along with some frozen peach slices in a blender, creating a divine drink that’s sure to quench your thirst.
Frozen Lime Daiquiri
The frozen lime daiquiri’s popularity can be traced back to its early days in Cuba during the 1800s, when the classic daiquiri was born. However, blenders hadn’t been invented yet, so it wasn’t a frozen drink at that time. It wasn’t until the 1990s that all types of daiquiris, including the lime variety, gained widespread popularity. This refreshing cocktail requires only four ingredients: freshly squeezed lime juice, white rum, ice, and simple syrup. You can either make your own simple syrup or purchase it pre-made from a liquor store or supermarket’s cocktail mixer section.

A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a burst of citrus, while simple syrup or agave syrup provides just the right amount of sweetness. The liquor base is built around tequila and orange liqueur (think Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, or Cointreau), giving the drink a smooth, velvety texture. To complete the experience, enjoy your frozen strawberry margarita with a salted rim and a lime wheel for garnish. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try substituting the strawberries with peaches for a peach margarita or passion fruit for a passion fruit margarita – the possibilities are endless!
Raspberry Gin Frozen Cocktail
To complete the sweet and tangy trio of frozen fruit cocktails, we simply had to include a refreshing raspberry treat. To get started, you’ll need to freeze fresh raspberries for about an hour before blending them into a puree. Once you have your raspberry base ready, mix it with sparkling water (or club soda), good gin, granulated sugar (or simple syrup), and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Finally, garnish each cocktail with a lime wheel for a pop of color and a burst of citrus flavor.
Frozen Coconut Mojito
The frozen coconut mojito is a refreshing twist on the classic Cuban drink, combining white rum (or coconut rum), canned coconut milk, fresh lime juice, and a sprig of mint for garnish. To elevate this treat even further, consider rimming the glass with toasted coconut flakes and a delicate mint leaf. The key to bringing this recipe together is the mint-flavored simple syrup, which is surprisingly easy to make.

This refreshing cocktail has become a favorite among brunch-goers and is often served as a sweet accompaniment to morning meals.
A classic frozen peach bellini requires just a few ingredients: Prosecco or another sparkling wine, simple syrup, frozen peach slices, and ice cubes.
