Blueberry Cream Wine Slush

Recipe for a vodka and wine cocktail with frozen blueberries and vanilla ice cream.

Blueberries were all over my cooking, baking and drink making this summer. Sweet and packed with fiber and vitamin C, they're one of my favorite treats. And now that summer is over...I see no reason to stop. Frozen blueberries get me through the other three seasons just fine. They're picked fresh and frozen to preserve their color, flavor and nutrition. So the blueberry recipes continue to flow.

Another favorite from this past summer, wine slushies, is going to continue on straight through the holidays. My gatherings have been a big hit thanks to bottles of wine and bags of frozen berries. I make big batches ahead of time so that people can help themselves and I'm not playing bartender all evening.

This time I decided to add a twist with a bit of vanilla ice cream and a good white wine. And happily all the flavors came through - the blueberries, the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream and the flavor of the sauvignon blanc I chose. The holidays are coming, lots more guests are coming and these blueberry drinks will be flowing.

It was my pleasure to collaborate with Honest Cooking and the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council to develop this recipe and you can find it on their website here. Cheers!
