Raspberry-Apple Champagne Slushies

Frozen sparkling wine, tart apple, and raspberry — a blender slush we serve when tropical humidity calls for something cold and celebratory, tested July 2026.

By Oliver Mayerhoffer & Natalia Mayerhoffer · Fieldwork updated July 2026

How do you make raspberry apple champagne slushies?

Raspberry apple champagne slushies blend frozen raspberries, apple juice, and chilled dry sparkling wine until smooth, then serve immediately in chilled glasses. The Mayerhoffer version takes about five minutes, stays tart-sweet without added syrup, and suits adult gatherings — not for children — as documented July 2026.

Oliver writes from Southeast Asia fieldwork through July 2026; Natalia reviews safety and nutrition notes; Victor is the final vote on family plates.

Quick answers

Questions we hear often

Can I make this slush without alcohol?

Replace sparkling wine with chilled sparkling apple juice or ginger ale. Freeze the mixture longer for a firmer texture.

Why use dry sparkling wine?

Dry wine balances sweet apple juice and raspberries. Sweeter prosecco can taste cloying once blended with fruit.
