Shared on the Dessert For Two Facebook page, the video for peach wine slushies has been viewed more than 12 million times! What do you people do all day, sit around and watch the internet? Hey, we’re not complaining if you do! The combination of the delicious, juicy flavor of a Hill Country peach together with wine (also a favorite of ours) and the slushie component (because we’re in the midst of a hot one) makes this the perfect Texas summer drink.

According to the social media post, all you need is a blender and a few ingredients to create this fruit sensation that will cure all your summer woes! They make use of Dole frozen peaches, but here in the Lone Star State, we all know where the good stuff is grown. So don’t be afraid to incorporate some local produce into the mix. Simply freeze them in advance (for the slushie effect) and blend them with your favorite white wine, which could also be from Texas!

Although we’re past the 4th of July, which is what this video post says these peach wine slushies are perfect for, you can make these any time of the year. It doesn’t have to be summertime for you to enjoy the flavors of your youth mixed with some favorite tastes of your adulthood. And it has to be healthy right? Perhaps? It’s made out of fruit, after all. The odds that you’re going to rush to the supermarket to pick up a pack of frozen peaches and a bottle of wine to make this drink are pretty good. Whether you’ll follow through with some fresh, local peaches remains to be seen. But the fact that we could share this quick and easy adult beverage with you to, hopefully, lessen the heat burden you’ve been feeling in the Texas summer sun is thanks enough for us. You’re welcome.
