Oh wine slushies, where ya been all my life? Perfect for hot summer days. The ones when you really want a glass of wine, but you don't because it's about to be the temperature of hot coffee in .02 seconds. Those summer days.

Or Tuesday. Those days can count, too. You will find no judgement here.

Lavender Simple Syrup

Besides the ease of drinking these sweet, floral, Lavender Peach Wine Slushies, they are incredibly easy to make. Making infused simple syrup is....well, I'd say it's 'easy as pie' but it's easier than that. Equal parts water and sugar in a sauce pan with three springs of fresh lavender. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 5 minutes.

The initial syrup may seem a bit intense on it's own at first, but will be diluted once combined with the other ingredients. Read: it might taste a little like soap on it's own, but it won't in the final product. I promise you soap is for our bodies, not our cocktails.

Blood Orange reduction, though not necessary, adds a colorful pop of color and tasty citrus notes. Follow the same guidelines as the simple syrup for this beautiful addition.

If the idea of lavender just isn't your style or if you prefer something a little less sweet, try my original rosé slushie recipe here. With rosé wine, elderflower and fresh lemon juice it's a balance of tart, sweet, and floral with that beautiful dry rosé finish. Plus, there's a picture of me on a swan...so there's that.

Lavender Peach Wine Slushies

One of the great things about this recipe too is it's perfect for wine that you opened maybe a day or two ago and you know you won't have a chance to finish before it goes bad. Or perhaps you opened that bottle of rosé and it just wasn't what you expected. Did someone bring a really terrible bottle of wine to your house party? Use it.

But best yet, if making for a crowd, you can go ahead and put that two buck chuck in your cart. Where we are headed is an infusion of wine, simple, peach and lemonade. No need for $10 bottles here.

You know how we used to fix lousy wine? Make it into sangria. Problem solved. Now we make it into wine slushies and get to reap the tasty, refreshing, and trendy benefits.

You'll be looking fresh with your drink 'on fleek' in no time.

For those days when no glass is large enough. Straw meet pitcher.
