Red Wine Sangria Slushie for Ninja Slushy Maker

How to Make Red Wine Sangria Slushie for Ninja Slushy Maker

1. 1

   Step 1: Make the sangria base

   In a large pitcher, combine the chilled red wine, orange juice, brandy (if using), simple syrup, and lime juice. Stir well and taste for sweetness — add a little more syrup if you like it sweeter. Let the mixture rest in the fridge for 10 minutes while you get the Ninja components ready (brief maceration brightens the flavor).

   For this step

   • 3 3.17 cupsDry red wine (one 750 ml bottle), chilled
   • 1 cupFresh orange juice, chilled
   • 1/4 cupBrandy or orange liqueur (optional)
   • 2 tbspSimple syrup (1:1 sugar to water) or agave
   • 2 tbspFresh lime juice

   Step 2: Prepare Ninja Slushy Maker and measure a single batch

   Work in batches so the machine isn’t overfilled: for each batch, add about 2 cups frozen mixed berries and 2 cups ice to the Ninja Slushy Maker bowl or cup per the manufacturer’s fill guidelines. Measure roughly 1 cup of the sangria base per batch to achieve a slushy consistency — you’ll blend the full pitcher in multiple turns (about 5–6 cups of base total across batches).

   For this step

   • 2 cupsFrozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
   • 2 cupsIce

   Step 3: Blend to slushy consistency

   Secure the lid and run the Ninja slushy/blending cycle or pulse the unit until the mixture reaches a smooth, icy slush (typically 30–60 seconds per batch depending on model). Stop and scrape the sides if needed, then pulse again to integrate any chunks. If a batch is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of extra orange juice; if too thin, add a few more frozen berries or a small handful of ice and re-blend.

   Step 4: Repeat and combine

   Transfer each finished slushy batch to a chilled pitcher or large bowl and repeat blending with the remaining fruit, ice, and sangria base until all the base is used. Stir gently to homogenize the texture so every serving has the same slushy balance.

   Step 5: Serve and garnish

   Spoon or pour the sangria slush into chilled glasses, garnish each with an orange slice, and serve immediately. For a festive touch, add a sprig of mint or a few fresh berries to each glass.
