- Serve immediately – keep any remaining wine slush in the freezer.
Recipe FAQs
Depending on the alcohol content, most wines will freeze around 15 to 20 degrees F. To get a slushy or solid result, you’ll need to leave the wine at this temperature for 1-2 hours.
No, temperature does not affect a wine’s alcohol content.
The wine itself can last in a freezer for up to 3 months. However, the fresh watermelon will have a shorter lifespan. You can freeze the watermelon wine slush in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
You can use regular watermelon, but you will need to strain the seeds out.
