Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle sparkling wine or champagne chilled
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar optional, adjust sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice brightens flavor

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Fork or spoon for stirring

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled sparkling wine into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until it dissolves completely, about 1-2 minutes. The mixture should look clear with no grains remaining.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice to add a subtle tang and enhance the overall flavor profile.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading it out evenly to ensure quick freezing.
  5. Place the container in the freezer and let it chill for about 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork or spoon to break up ice crystals and promote a consistent slushy texture.
  6. Once the mixture has firmed up into a granular, snow-like consistency, give it a final stir to distribute the icy chunks evenly.
  7. Taste a spoonful to check the texture and flavor; if it’s too icy, let it sit at room temperature briefly or add a splash of sparkling water and stir to loosen up.
  8. Serve the champagne slushie immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with a lemon wedge or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add fresh herbs or fruit before freezing. Adjust sweetness to taste, and ensure champagne is well chilled for the best icy texture.
