At Lanthier Winery, customers often ask if we have wine slushies. While we do not sell them at the winery, we decided it was time to give our customers the next best thing: Wine slushie recipes that you can make at home with Lanthier Winery’s hand-crafted wines.

Bonus Idea!
If you are feeling a little inspired and want to take these recipes one step further, all you’ll need is a snow cone or shaved ice machine. If you happen to already have one, perfect!
Directions:
Place all of the ingredients from the recipe into a blender.
Instead of ice, add 1 cup of cold water.
Blend until liquid. Pour mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. About 4 hours.
When mixture is set, add the ice to your snow cone machine the same way you would with regular ice.
Congratulations! You have just made your very own ~grown-up~ snow cone!
