Summer has officially arrived – and it’s heating up outside! As the temperatures rise you’re probably looking for a quick and refreshing way to cool down, but don’t swap that glass of wine out for a cold beer just yet. Fear not fellow Sparkling Winos, because we’ve teamed up with FRESH Wines to make 2017 the summer of the #SparklingSlushies! Now you can beat the heat and have your bubbly!
What are #SparklingSlushies you ask? Well remember those gloriously refreshing blended beverages that you’d pick up on your way home from school? (Ahhh… nostalgia!) We’re updating that concept for 2017 by replacing the base ingredients with… wine! And topping it with bubbly of course. Because when you’ve got bubbles – you’ve got no troubles! 🍾 So read on for our #SparklingSlushies recipes, and we’ll keep you cool for the summer! 😎
