Ingredients
- Fresh pressed apple cider – the strongest apple cider you can find, fresh pressed is even better. Can’t find fresh pressed cider? Use any apple juice or cider you can find.
- Alcohol – of choice. Make apple cider slushies with wine using either a crisp white wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. Or make a apple cider vodka slush using vodka. Or try them mixed with gin, bourbon or Fireball cinnamon whiskey. Note, if using a lesser amount of vodka in place of wine, add a bit of apple cider to help the ice cubes blend smoothly.
Step by step instructions
- Make apple cider ice cubes at least 1 day in advance, up to 30 days. By pouring apple cider into ice cubes trays and placing in the freezer.
- When ready to serve add apple cider ice cubes and alcohol of choice to blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately topped with cinnamon powder, whipped cream and/or caramel drizzle (optional).
- Enjoy!
It does require a little forethought to pour apple cider into ice cube trays at least 24 hours in advance. But please do not try to rush things using ice cubes and cider. The drink will be watered down and won’t be as luscious as frozen cider.
Non alcoholic apple cider slushies
To make Apple Cider Slushies without alcohol simply substitute an equal amount of apple cider in place of the alcohol in this recipe.
