Easy Two Berry Patriotic Wine Slushies are made with frozen berries, wine, and then topped with coconut cream. Vegan & Gluten Free.
Hey friends!
Are you guys looking forward to an extra long weekend?
Maybe with the July 4th holiday coming on Tuesday you’re planning to make it one. I know I’am!
Yessss…nothing like a holiday filled with plenty of good food, drinks and a reason to kick back.
So I wanted to bring these Easy Two Berry Patriotic Wine Slushies to you today so you could sip on these next week.
Cause not only are they easy, refreshing, and tasty they’re also screaming Happy July 4th 🙂
Well that and Happy Summer!
Since summer usually includes lots of outdoor activities, it’s always nice to have easy refreshing drinks to Enjoy!
Whether hanging out by the pool, beach or even just the back yard you need to make slushies a part of your summer fun.
And I can’t believe I’ve just started making slushies after all these years.
They really are super easy to make and can be made with various fruits and even kid friendly versions.
So with all the tasty summer berries readily available slushies need to be on your to do list. Okay!
Just grab a bottle of your favorite wine and some frozen berries and you’re good to go.
See I told you that it was Easy!
But for extra fun also pick up a can of coconut cream…not coconut milk, but the cream.
Oh and also make sure you get the coconut cream at least a day in advance since it needs to be chilled in your fridge overnight before whipping.
Believe me I learned that the hard way so only trying to help you guys out.
Even though the extra toppings are optional I highly recommend them.
The coconut cream just adds a nice little bit of creaminess to the drink as it starts to melt into the slushie.
Anyway let’s just sum up all the reasons you need to make these.

How refreshing! I have never made a slush with wine before. What a wonderful idea! A little booze will be extra nice for the weekend. 🙂
That sounds like a super fun way to loose an afternoon 😉
They look amazing! I haven’t tried a wine slushie before and it is clear that I have been missing out!
This look so refreshing and easy to make too, I can’t wait to try it out.
I agree, slushies definitely need to be part of summer… and making them with my favorite wine sounds delicious! I love the deep color of these. Very pretty.
Oh so yum.. I had one similar over the weekend.. but not the coconut cream – must make it nice and creamy…. I had a red wine that was bit drier then I wanted so I have to make a slush with it lol…. If only I had seen this recipe. Can’t wait to try this one next.
WE are wine lovers….in fact we have a wine cellar. What a perfect way to relax in the backyard…..this is great for entertaining.

I’m all for slushies and these would be perfect for the summer parties or a ‘girl’s night in’. Love the combination of berries with wine.
Why should youg kinds be the only ones who have the fun slushy drinks. This sounds so good and I’ve been meaning to make some for quite some time. I like the whipped coconut cream touch. That is going on my grocery list.
