Frozen Wine Slushie with Blueberry and Lavender
The easiest summer cocktail I make. Freeze white wine in ice trays, blend with frozen blueberries and a simple homemade lavender syrup. Five minutes of work, gorgeous purple color, and it tastes incredible. Any white wine works.

Ingredients
Wine slushie
- 1 bottle white wine Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Riesling
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 3 tablespoons lavender syrup
Lavender syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 sprigs dried lavender
Instructions
Lavender syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar over low heat. When the sugar is almost dissolved, add the lavender sprigs.
- Let it simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved and it has a syrup consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Wine slushie
- Pour the bottle of wine into ice trays and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
- Add the frozen wine cubes, frozen blueberries, and 3 tablespoons of lavender syrup to a blender. Blend until slushy.
- Taste and adjust. Add more syrup if you want it sweeter.
- Pour into glasses, garnish with a sprig of dried lavender, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Any white wine works. No need to buy anything expensive.
- You can swap blueberries for blackberries, cherries, or raspberries.
- Make the lavender syrup ahead and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Quick version: skip freezing the wine. Use very cold wine blended with frozen fruit and syrup. Less icy but still delicious.
