Notes
You may use fresh cherries if they are in season, but be sure to pit them and freeze them first.
Feel free to change up the type of fruit you use in your Wine Slushies -- frozen peaches, pineapple, mango, or any berries would all be delicious.
If your frozen fruit is super sweet -- or if you'd prefer your slushie to turn out less sweet -- you can substitute Riesling for Moscato. Or you can swap in any other light and fruity white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
If including the vanilla, use a high-quality extract, don't use too much, and make sure it complements your choice of fruit.
