Method
- Measure and chill the champagne in the bottles for several hours before preparation.
- Place the ice cubes into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed for smooth blending.
- Pour the chilled champagne over the ice in the blender, filling it about halfway.
- Add the citrus zest to the blender for a bright, aromatic note that complements the bubbles.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, icy, and slightly slushy, about 30-40 seconds.
- Check the texture; it should be velvety and cold with tiny ice crystals suspended evenly throughout.
- Pour the champagne slushie into chilled glasses, ensuring each is filled with a shimmering, icy beverage.
- If desired, garnish with a twist of citrus peel or a small sprig of fresh herbs for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp, bubbly, and refreshing texture with your celebration or warm-weather occasion.
Notes
For a sweeter version, add a splash of fruit syrup or a sweet liqueur before blending. Adjust the amount of ice for a thicker or thinner consistency based on preference.
