Hey friends! I don’t normally post on Thursday but I couldn’t resist sharing this refreshing Mango & Lime White Wine Slushy as soon as I had the idea for it! #thirstythursday
I cannot take full credit for the concept. Last weekend Dom and I celebrated our anniversary at one of our favorite places and before dinner we made our way to their gorgeously appointed bar that sits just outside the dining room. Very romantic, with its dark wood, ornate chairs, cozy tables and mood music – we each ordered a drink. Dom’s cocktail was along the lines of a smoky tasting Bourbon Old Fashioned…not my thing…though it was beautiful with its muddled orange and bright red cherry, I ordered a long time favorite, Bellini. Not your typical Bellini made with ripe white peach puree and Prosecco, this was prepared with mango puree, a splash of lime juice and Prosecco.
Gosh, that was good.
So good, I had two.
In pretty standard fashion, I couldn’t wait to get home and play around with recipes based on our meal. I was excited to try my hand, first, at this simple yet delicious cocktail. Normally we have Prosecco in the house, but for some reason, not this time. And rather than go out to grab a few bottles we took a gander at the wine rack and noticed a bottle of Swedish Hill Vignoles Late Harvest. This is not a sponsored post but I’m so happy to have the chance to tout the deliciousness of this award winning wine.
Though absolutely perfect tasting on its own, with rich flavors and aromas of apricot, honey and ripe melon, we had some fun adding frozen mango, a splash of lime and a handful of ice to this already fruity tasting sweet white.
With all the jubilant spring and summer holidays that are just around the corner, cocktails like this make perfect sense. Pretty, refreshing, icy and delicious…I’d say this will work for any small or large gathering you have planned. This recipe calls for a cup-a cup-a cup per one cocktail…. A cup of frozen mango, a cup of sweet white wine, a cup of ice and freshly squeezed juice from quarter of a lime, then top with a paper thin slice of lime…
How’s that for making life easy?
A little bitta tropical and a whole lotta colorful, this cocktail is sure to be a hit! Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, Labor Day…
Cheers!

I love it! What a beautiful color, and how simple it is to remember a cup, a cup, a cup. You know I’ve got plenty of wine here, limes, and I will be buying the frozen mango. Thanks for a great idea! Enjoy your weekend, Annie.
Thanks for stopping by with a kind word! Who can’t remember a cup, a cup, a cup? Am I right? And the faster we remember the recipe, the faster we’re enjoying our cocktail! Cheers! 🙂
What a beautiful post, Annie. Mango + lime + white wine slushy? Yes please!! These glasses look so d-licious! I am sure how awesome these would have tasted. This is gonna be a Friday night drink for me!
Why thank you, Anu! This will make for a perfect Friday night drink! Cheers! 🙂
Oh Annie, what a wonderful post. 🙂 So delighted you shared this amazing recipe for a) I totally adore mangos and b) I’ve been diving into the wide ocean of cocktails lately, looking for delicious recipes. So, here is one of my favorite ones now! Thanks! 🙂
I love that visual…the wide ocean of cocktails…yes, this will be a lovely one of the big bunch you’ll find! Thank you, my dear! 🙂
I am glad you decided to post this! This looks so tasty, and would be perfect for almost any occasion. I am going to make this for my Mom, she would LOVE this. I think I might have to double up on this recipe, cause I know seconds will be a must! Yum!
Yeah…that’s not a bad idea (to double it). I hope your mom loves it! Have a great weekend, friend! 🙂
I love the look of this drink! And I can only imagine how it tastes! Looks perfect! So glad you had a nice anniversary !
Thanks, Mira! I do love everything about it! Have a lovely weekend, my friend! 🙂
I have been in a rut!! When we go out I order wine — plain and simple. I’m going to have to get more adventuresome. I love trying new drinks, foods, etc. This is going to be my summer drink. Thank YOU, Annie
It’s time for a little adventure Marisa! Turn it up a notch, my friend….this drink is the right way to do it! Happy weekend, my dear! 🙂
Oh my gawd!!!!!! Bellini is one of my favorite drinks and loving this made with mango! I always have frozen mango chunks on hand and I happen to have a bottle of Prosecco in the garage refrig. YAY!!!! I’ll be making this drink on Saturday with the Prosecco and will think of you Annie. Next time I’ll try it with the sweet white wine 🙂
I would have been all over the Prosecco if we had it! Enjoy, my friend!! 🙂
OMG. I literally was drooling right when I saw this in my inbox. Mangos are my favorite…but the real key here is WINE SLUSHY! So genius. I need to try this when it’s sunny next week!
Wine Slushy? How awesome is that? And the possibilities are endless, are they not? Thank you dear! Have a great weekend! 🙂
Now I’m not a big wine drinker – but that white on it’s own with undertones of apricot, honey and ripe melon sounds wonderful – but then you went and added frozen mango, lime and ice and made it pretty EPIC! Annie – this is such a delightful slushy to enjoy these warmer temps with!
Oh yes…believe me – the wine needs nothing more, however, these couple additions are pretty lovely! Thank you, my friend! 🙂
Love it! The ingredients, the color, the flavor that must be amazing, the pictures and the story! So glad that you spent a great anniversary!
Thank you so much, Nicoletta! Enjoy your first weekend back! Perhaps a slushy or two to celebrate your reunion?! 🙂
Just YUM. No wonder you couldn’t wait to share! I would love nothing more than to come home to one of these after my workday! You around? 🙂 Happy hour!
Just YUM is right! And YES – we’re here…come over! I’ll have the blender whirring as you arrive! 🙂
I love going out to eat and being inspired by what’s on the menu! I would have ordered more than just a couple of these babies 😉 We’re down in FL visiting my husbands family and it’s getting hot! I sure could go for a few of these right now 🙂
I love when you re-interpret dishes that you’ve had out – they’re always incredible!! Awh! Have a lovely time, my dear! I’ll be thinking of you in the sunshine! 🙂
The bar scene you describe on your anniversary sounds romantic! This drink is heavenly, mango always blends up so nicely and how could it not with sweet white wine and lime. Now I’m thirsty!! Take care!
Thank you, Stacey! It was very romantic! I often want to go and just linger with my hubby in that space…it’s just so pretty! 🙂
So glad you guys had a beautiful anniversary, Annie! I nice night out with a cocktail (or two) to start sounds like my kinda good time! You surprised me with posting on Thursday, girlfriend! And I’m totally thankful for this surprise because this cocktail is PERFECT for #ThirstyThursday! Love the tropical flavors and beautiful color! I have mangoes, limes, and a few bottles of sweet white wine, so you can bet I will be pouring this up at 5 o’clock… or before, because you know, it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere! Pinned! Cheers, sweets! xoxo
Well, you have to know that you inspired me in the #thirstythursday department! You do it so well! Hope you like it!! Cheers! xo
This looks absolutely delicious, Annie – I never think of making drinks with wine so I’m very inspired by this – I need to go get some sweet wine. And I love the mango and lime combo. Cheers!
It’s sweet but still refreshing! 🙂
This wine slushy sounds so refreshing! Love the mango lime combination. It’s perfect for spring!
Hope you have the chance to try it, Jen! Enjoy!! 🙂
Mango and lime pair SO well together! This slushy looks delicious 🙂
They sure do! This beverage is proof positive of that! 🙂
Okay, can I be the 80th person to say thank you for posting on Thursday? Thirsty, indeed my friend. Okay, so what’s the deal with you always cooking up recipes that are EXACTLY what I’m craving right now? Have you got a crystal ball or something? Love that you were able to do your own twist on a delicious recipe you tried in a restaurant. Isn’t that the best though? Have a great weekend, Annie! 🙂 Pinning!
