Red Wine, Strawberry and Thyme Slushy
Today I am sharing a delicious cocktail made with red wine and rum. We are having some steamy weather here in Seattle and I wanted to create something to cool me down. This wine slushy is the perfect solution because it combines fresh sweet market strawberries with the tanginess of red wine.
The thyme is blended into the drink and creates a lovely earthiness that pairs well with the red wine. I have been wanting to create a wine cocktail for a while and this slushy fits the bill. On another note, this is a great recipe to make if you have leftover wine. The thyme can also be replaced with any fresh herb you have at home. Cheers!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 ounces of rum
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1/2 ounce agave syrup

- 2 sprigs of thyme
Method:
- In a blender add rum, lime juice, red wine, agave nectar, 5 strawberries, ice, and 2 sprigs of thyme
