Some people call it “frosé.” Other people call it “frozen wine.” I call it “Mommy’s Super Juice.” Peach Wine Slushies, welcome to the party. And boy, am I ever glad to see you.
Summer is a time for relaxation and rejuvenation. It’s also a time for travel. And if you’d asked me a year ago how I felt about travel, I would have replied with some seemingly chipper form of “Love it!” or “Can’t live without it!” But add a 10-month-old baby to the equation, and surprise, surprise, I have a whole new outlook on planes, trains and automobiles.
I am fresh off of a 12-hour travel day with our bouncing baby boy, who also happens to be a teething, rolling, babbling, maneuvering 25-pound ball of deliciousness (that I can’t imagine life without). But can I be honest? Traveling with children under the age of 5 should either (A). be an Olympic sport so you at least get a medal if you do a good job or (B). be illegal.
After yesterday’s trip back from Hilton Head, South Carolina, I am convinced we may never be leaving our living room again. There was a 4 a.m. wakeup time. There was a 3-hour layover. There was an angry fellow passenger who hated anyone under the age of 149. There was an airplane bathroom changing table the size of a Snickers bar (fun size, not regular). There was no sleeping by said bouncing baby boy. And you better believe it when I tell you there. were. tears. He cried. I cried. We all cried.
What is the answer to the madness? I don’t even know if there is an answer, but if you have one, PLEASE share with us below. How do you make travel with children manageable? I am all ears. And while I’m listening, I’ll be sipping on gin and juice Peach Wine Slushies.
This frosty, fruit-filled concoction is my new favorite adult beverage for summertime (or truthfully, any time). And don’t let anyone ever tell you there is a right or wrong way to blend frozen fruit with alcohol. Pick any fruit and any type of wine and let the blender work its magic. A few of my favorite combinations include:
- Frozen strawberries with rosé
- Frozen mango with sauvignon blanc
- Frozen raspberries with syrah
Mix. Blend. Pour. Devour. Repeat.

Ingredients
- 5 cups frozen peaches
- 2 1/2 cups white or rosé wine (See Kelly’s Notes)
- Fresh peaches, for garnishing
Instructions
- Add the frozen peaches and wine to a blender. Blend until the mixture is puréed.
- Pour the slushies into glasses, garnish with fresh peaches and serve immediately.
Kelly’s Notes:
- Use any variety of white or rosé wine. My favorite is a light and crisp pinot grigio, but chardonnay or sauvignon blanc will also work well.
- For thicker slushies, reduce the wine to 1 ½ cups.

I really do not care for white or rose wine. Can it be made with Prosecco or vodka?
You can absolutely use Prosecco, Milly!
Great Recipe! I felt like I needed a little more sweetness so I made my own simple syrup and added it. It’s probably not good that I found this recipe because I make them a lot now!
Ha! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Audra!
Could you use a moscato instead of regular wine?
Absolutely!
Can’t wait to try but all I have are canned peaches and canned fruit cocktail. What to do!
Hi Jo Ellen! You could use the canned fruit you have on hand and add ice to reach your desired consistency.
how many servings does this make?
It’ll make 4 to 6 servings, depending on your glass size!
I am assuming you peel the peaches before freeing/ Wanted to check!
Yes!
Traveling with infants/toddlers – Benadryl. Seriously. Ask your pediatrician for the right dose. We flew to Germany & back with a 6-month old, and it wasn’t bad.
Thanks for the tip, Maureen!
Suggestions for how to do this without the alcohol?
Hi Kara! You can use any type of juice (peach, orange, pineapple, etc.)!
You are very witty Kelly! I love your sense of humor and the way you express it. Making these for a ladies gathering tonight. We are all excited to give them a try. LOVE fresh peach season!
Thanks so much, Leslie! Enjoy the slushies!
I always have frozen raspberries on hand so I used those instead of peaches. They were SO good! I also tried a red wine and frozen strawberry version, but it wasn’t quite sweet enough for a hot summer day. Some time I’ll have to try this recipe as is with peaches.
Love your variations, Elizabeth!
Hi there, can you make this in advance and freeze it for a few days???
Hi Debbie! I’ve never tried freezing the slushies but I think it could work. Would love to hear your results if you give it a shot!
Yes, Kelly! I’ve been looking at all these frosé recipes with vodka and added sugar and blah. So glad to know I can make a clean and simple version. Will be making these today on my own beach day :)
How many servings does this make?
Hi Aaliya! It’ll serve 4 to 6 people depending on your thirst level :)
Though I do not take alcohol much, but I will be trying this Peach Slushy very, very soon. Peach and white wine sounds great. Cannot wait to taste this concoctions. Thanks Kelly.

Awesome! Enjoy, Anis :)
Do i have to use frozen peaches? Can i use fresh peaches and ice? Or should i just freeze fresh peaches? Sounds DELISH!
You can definitely use fresh peaches and ice or freeze fresh peaches :)
these slushee’s look amazing – going to break out the blender this weekend fir sure!
Cheers!
Kelly,
For the one man who didn’t care for anyone under 149, there were five ‘feelin’ your pain’!!
I can’t decide if it’s your stories or your recipes I like best. So, I’d better have a peach slushie and think on that a bit!!
Mug on that sweet baby boy. He’ll stand taller than you one day-it’s weird, in tellin’ ya!
Thanks, Kelly!
Hah! Thanks so much, Ann Marie! Enjoy :)
For the peach slushi what is best to replace the wine with
You can use any type of juice (peach, orange, pineapple, etc.)!
All I can say is: It gets better. 10 months is pretty much the hardest travel age ever. Soon you can plug him into a video on the plane (or in the car) and breathe a sigh of relief. Total game-changer. (Will definitely try the slushee recipe!)
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement, Mira! We’re hoping the next flight is smoother :) Enjoy the slushies!
