Ingredients
  

  • 750 ml champagne chilled
  • 2 cups crushed ice preferably fine or medium size
  • 1 cup fruit juice such as peach or raspberry for flavor
  • 2 tbsp sugar syrup optional, adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled champagne into the blender, providing the liquid base for your slushie.
  2. Add the crushed ice to the blender, filling it about halfway to ensure a frosty texture.
  3. Pour in the fruit juice and add the sugar syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor, then secure the lid tightly.
  4. Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is fully crushed and the liquid looks smooth and frosty, about 30-40 seconds.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency—it should be thick, slushy, and sparkling with tiny ice crystals.
  6. Pour the icy champagne mixture into glasses and garnish with fresh fruit or a sprig of mint if desired.
