Frozen Peach Moscato Slush
A sweet, light frozen peach Moscato slush with Moscato, frozen peaches and lemonade — sized for Margaritaville machines.
Jump to recipe ↓Moscato is sweet, fruity and low in alcohol, so it makes a soft, easy-drinking slush that needs no extra syrup.
Frozen peaches play double duty as fruit and ice, and a little lemonade adds the acidity Moscato lacks.
Wine melts faster than spirit-based frozen drinks, so pour into chilled glasses and serve right away.

How much to make in your machine
Every Margaritaville frozen concoction maker is designed around a particular volume of liquid — the shaver portions ice for it. The table scales this recipe to the margarita liquid volume printed in each model’s manual (Key West DM1000 / DM1946 3 × 12 oz drinks: 9.75 fl oz; Bahamas DM0500 / Fiji DM2000 3 × 12 oz drinks: 13 fl oz; Tahiti DM3000 per 24 oz jar: 8.67 fl oz; Bali DM3500 half chamber: 11 fl oz; Bali DM3500 full chamber: 22 fl oz). Amounts are rounded to the nearest ¼ or ⅓ oz.
| Ingredient | Key West DM1000 / DM19463 × 12 oz drinks | Bahamas DM0500 / Fiji DM20003 × 12 oz drinks | Tahiti DM3000per 24 oz jar | Bali DM3500half chamber | Bali DM3500full chamber |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moscato wine | 7⅓ oz | 9¾ oz | 6½ oz | 8¼ oz | 16½ oz |
| lemonade | 2½ oz | 3¼ oz | 2¼ oz | 2¾ oz | 5½ oz |
| frozen peach slices | 1¼ cups | 1⅔ cups | 1 cups | 1⅓ cups | 2¾ cups |
Scaling is our calculation, not a manufacturer recipe. Fruit- and ice-cream-heavy drinks vary more; adjust with the Shave Only / Blend Only controls. The Key West DM1900 isn’t listed because we haven’t verified its manual yet.
Machine notes for this drink
- This recipe includes fruit. On the Fiji, Tahiti and Bali, choose the Daiquiris (or Smoothies) program so the cycle blends longer; on the Bahamas and Key West, hold Blend Only for a few extra seconds after the automatic cycle if you see chunks. Fruit adds volume, so keep an eye on the jar’s maximum line.
- This batch uses about 12 fl oz of liquid for 3 drinks. If your drink comes out watery, the manuals’ first fix is to follow the recipe volumes or manually shave more ice; if it’s too stiff, add liquid and Blend Only.
Why this recipe works
Lemonade adds acidity to balance Moscato’s sweetness.
About frosé & frozen wine
Wine-based frozen drinks need more wine by volume than spirit drinks need liquor, because wine is only about 11–14% alcohol. Choose bold, fruity, low-oak wines — freezing mutes aroma and exaggerates bitterness.
Tips for the best texture
- Chill the wine.
- Freeze peaches.
- Serve quickly.
- Pink Moscato works.
- Never put anything but ice in the ice reservoir, and don’t fill the jar past its maximum line — both are warnings in every manual.
- Too thin? Hold the toggle in Shave Only for a few seconds, then Blend Only to mix it in. Too thick? Add an ounce of liquid and Blend Only.
Serving & make-ahead
Garnish with peach slice and serve in a stemless wine glass. Wine slushes melt faster than spirit-based ones, so pour into chilled stemless glasses and serve right away. Keep the wine in the fridge until the last minute. Leftover frosé or sangria slush can go in a covered container in the freezer for a day; give it a stir or a short Blend Only before serving.
Variations
- Strawberry: Use strawberries.
- Mango: Use mango.
- Sparkling: Use sparkling Moscato on top.
Mocktail swap
Use peach nectar and lemonade.
Frequently asked questions
Too sweet?
Add lemon juice.
Strength?
Low — Moscato is ~5–7% ABV.
Other wine?
Riesling works.
How much ice should I put in the machine?
Fill the ice reservoir with ice cubes — the machine shaves the amount it needs for the cycle (dial models size it to the 1, 2 or 3-drink setting). The manuals recommend ice that has been out of the freezer for 10–15 minutes.
Will this work in a regular blender?
Yes — add about 1½–2 cups of ice per 12 oz drink and blend until smooth. The texture will be coarser than shaved ice.
