Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups champagne chilled
• 1/2 cup citrus juice lemon or lime for tartness
• 1/4 cup sugar preferably superfine for easier blending

Equipment

• Blender
• Measuring Cups and Spoons
• Citrus juicer

Method

 

1. Measure out the champagne and ensure it is well chilled. Squeeze fresh citrus juice until you have the required amount. Gather your sugar.
2. Pour the champagne into the blender, followed by the citrus juice. Add the sugar on top.
3. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frosty, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a consistent, icy texture with tiny bubbles forming.
4. Stop the blender and check the consistency. If you want it firmer, blend for an additional 10 seconds or until the mixture resembles a slushie.
5. Pour the chilled champagne slushie into glasses, using a spoon if necessary to help transfer the icy blend without losing too much foam.
6. Garnish each glass with a twist of citrus or a small wedge if desired. Serve immediately for the best icy texture and sparkling refreshment.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are well chilled beforehand for the best texture. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to suit your taste.

This champagne slushie is a perfect way to keep summer moments cool and sparkling. Its icy texture and bubbly aroma make it a memorable addition to any gathering or solo indulgence. The best part? It’s so easy to whip up, it’s practically a spontaneous celebration in every glass.

As the days grow warmer, embracing these chilled treasures feels more essential than ever. They evoke the joy of lazy afternoons and unexpected parties alike. Sometimes, the simplest recipes hold the most happiness, and this one just might be my new go-to for those sun-drenched hours.
