Method

  1. Blend together red wine, ice cubes, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, orange-flavored liqueur, orange juice, and sugar until the mixture becomes smooth.

  2. Serve the blend immediately or freeze it.

  3. The alcohol content in the mixture prevents it from freezing too solidly.

  4. As the ice crystals melt quickly, you can break up the frozen mixture and serve it in glasses. It can be enjoyed with or without spoons to scoop up the slush.

  5. Optionally, you can replace the orange-flavored liqueur with brandy if you prefer.
