Why I Like This Recipe

I just wanted something cold, fast, and not too serious. Threw a few things in the blender, didn’t measure too carefully, and somehow made this peachy masterpiece. It’s sweet but not too much, and that prosecco hit at the end? Little fizzy kiss. 10/10, will be making again (probably tonight).

Ingredients

Main Slush Mix:

• 1 cup frozen peaches
• 4 ice cubes
• 1¼ oz peach schnapps
• 1 oz vodka

Finish with:

• 2 oz prosecco

Optional Add-ins:

• Drizzle of honey (if your peaches aren’t sweet enough)
• Fresh mint or peach slice for garnish

How To Make Wallaby Darned

1. Blend the base: Toss peaches, ice, schnapps, and vodka into your blender. Blend until smooth. It’ll sound loud. That’s normal.
2. Add prosecco: Pour in the prosecco and just pulse it once or twice — keep that fizz alive.
3. Taste check: Too tart? Add honey. Not cold enough? Add more ice and blend again quickly.
4. Serve it up: Pour into one big glass or split into two. Garnish if you’re into that.
5. Sip immediately: Seriously. It melts fast. Drink now or cry later.

Tips for Success

• Keep everything super cold — don’t let peaches thaw
• Pulse prosecco, don’t blend hard or you’ll lose the sparkle
• Add honey if the drink tastes flat
• Use good prosecco — cheap stuff goes bitter fast

Storage and Reheating

• Fridge: Not ideal. Melts and separates.
• Freezer: Can freeze for about 30 mins if needed. Re-blend to fix texture.
• Reheat: Nope. Don’t. Just make another one.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use canned peaches?
  You can, but you’ll need to freeze them first or it’ll be more like juice than slush.
• What if I don’t have peach schnapps?
  Apricot liqueur or a peach vodka works in a pinch. Adjust sweetness.
• Can I skip the prosecco?
  Sure — replace with lemon soda, sparkling water, or just leave it out.
• Do I need a high-power blender?
  Nah. Just let it run longer. Might need to stop and stir once or twice.
• Can I batch this for a group?
  Absolutely. Just double or triple it. Blend in batches if needed.

Common Mistakes and How to Dodge Them

• Not freezing the peaches: Room temp fruit = sad, watery drink. Keep ’em frozen until the second you blend.
• Over-blending the prosecco: Fizz is fragile. Blend too long and it goes flat. Pulse it — quick and gentle.
• Too much ice: Extra ice doesn’t equal better texture. Start with a few cubes. You can always add.
• Skipping a sweetener check: Frozen fruit varies. Always taste before pouring — you might need honey or syrup.
• Thinking it’s just a summer drink: Wrong. It slaps in sweatpants too. Just maybe skip the mint garnish.
