Ingredients You’ll Need

Main Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
• 1 cup Moscato wine (sweet or semi-sweet)
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1–2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
• 2 cups ice

Garnishes (Optional but Recommended)

• Fresh strawberry slices
• Mango chunks
• Mint leaves
• Sugar or coarse salt for rimming the glasses

Ingredient Breakdown

1. Strawberries:
These ruby-red beauties bring a burst of sweet-tart flavor that’s iconic in any summer drink. If you’re using fresh berries, make sure they’re ripe for maximum sweetness. Frozen strawberries are great too—they keep the slushie extra cold.

2. Mango Chunks:
Mango adds a creamy, tropical vibe to the drink. Fresh mango is ideal for that just-picked taste, but frozen mango chunks work wonders in achieving a thicker consistency. Bonus: mangoes are rich in vitamins A and C, so this slushie is practically health food, right?

3. Moscato Wine:
Moscato is the MVP of this recipe. Its light, fruity, and slightly sparkling personality makes it the perfect boozy base. Sweet or semi-sweet varieties work best, but feel free to experiment with what you have on hand. Not into Moscato? A Riesling or a sweet rosé could be fun alternatives.

4. Orange Juice:
A splash of orange juice brightens the flavors and ties the strawberries and mangoes together. Use freshly squeezed juice for the best taste—because you’re fancy like that.

5. Honey or Simple Syrup:
This is your sweetness adjuster. If your fruit is naturally sweet, you might not need it, but a little honey or simple syrup can help balance out any tartness. Pro tip: taste your slushie before adding it.

6. Ice:
The unsung hero of any slushie. Ice gives the drink its frozen texture. Crushed ice blends more easily, but regular cubes will do just fine.

Optional Garnishes:
Because who doesn’t love a dressed-up drink? A sugared rim, fresh fruit, and a sprig of mint can elevate your slushie from casual to Instagram-worthy.

How to Make Strawberry Mango Moscato Slushie

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

First things first—gather everything you need. If your strawberries and mango chunks are frozen, you’re ahead of the game! If using fresh fruit, give them a good wash and cut them into manageable pieces. Bonus tip: Freeze your fresh fruit for about an hour beforehand for an extra frosty slushie.

Step 2: Blend Like a Pro

Grab your blender and toss in the strawberries, mango chunks, Moscato wine, orange juice, and ice. Blend on high until you achieve a smooth, slushy consistency.

Pro Tip: If your blender struggles with larger ice cubes, pulse them first before blending everything together.

Step 3: Sweeten to Taste

Once blended, give it a quick taste test. Is it sweet enough? If not, add a tablespoon of honey or simple syrup, blend again, and taste. Repeat as needed. Remember, this is your masterpiece, so make it as sweet as you like.

Step 4: Garnish Like a Pro

Here’s where you get to flex your creative muscles. To rim your glasses with sugar or salt, rub a slice of lime or orange around the edge, then dip the glass into a shallow plate of sugar or coarse salt. Pour your slushie into the prepared glasses and top with garnishes like a strawberry slice, mango chunk, or a sprig of mint.

Pro Tip: Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before serving. It’ll keep your slushie colder for longer and adds a touch of elegance.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately, preferably with a cute straw or cocktail umbrella (because why not?). Sip, savor, and enjoy your delicious creation. If you’re making this for a party, prepare a big batch and keep it in the freezer, stirring occasionally to maintain that perfect slushy texture.

Tips for Success

Choose the Right Moscato:
A sweet or semi-sweet Moscato works best. Too dry, and the flavor might clash with the fruit.

Adjust the Consistency:
If your slushie is too thick, add a splash of orange juice or Moscato. Too thin? Throw in a bit more ice or frozen fruit.

Experiment with Variations:
Want to mix it up? Try adding a handful of pineapple chunks, a squeeze of lime juice, or even a splash of coconut rum for an extra tropical twist.

Make It Alcohol-Free:
For a kid-friendly or alcohol-free version, swap the Moscato for sparkling grape juice or lemon-lime soda.
