Tropical Peach Pineapple Slushies
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere. I just know it.
These slushies go down so easily and are the perfect summer refresher.
Even though they’re a frozen drink, which are prone to being both skimpy on the booze and heavy on the sugary syrups, these are neither.
There’s plenty of booze and no added sugar, a win-win.
I used Malibu, pineapple vodka, and peach schnapps. The Malibu gives the drinks their signature tropical vibe. Something about Malibu drinks just make you feel like you’re on vacation.
I had the pineapple vodka on hand but regular vodka or your favorite flavored vodka from raspberry to citron will work.
The peach schnapps brings out the peachy flavor and peach and pineapple are such a great combo.
You can keep the slushies virgin by replacing the alcohol with pineapple or orange juice, but I prefer not to. I already drink plenty smoothies.
I was going to flood the slushies with grenadine for a sunset-like effect but refrained since I was trying to not add sugar. If you don’t care, flood away. It’ll taste great and look pretty.
Instead I just went with a couple simple maraschino cherries. I love them.
The slushies are perfect for all those ripe, juicy summertime peaches. In advance of making the drinks, I recommend slicing the peaches and pineapple and putting them in a plastic container or Ziplock and freezing. That way you’re blending frozen fruit so you don’t need to add ice, which would water down the slushies.
Or just start off with frozen bagged fruit, which is what I did. Trader Joe’s frozen pineapple chunks never tasted so good.
I happened to make the slushies during a 95F heat wave we were having in San Diego last week and at 11am after this photo shoot was over, it was definitely 5 o’clock in my kitchen.
Make them for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, your next pool party or bbq, or just because. Just think of all the Vitamin C you’ll be getting.
They go down so incredibly easy and will sneak up on you. That’s the point though.
Tropical Peach Pineapple Slushies
There’s no added sugar and plenty of booze in these tropical-tasting slushies. The Malibu lends a tropical vibe, but you can keep the slushies virgin by replacing the alcohol with pineapple or orange juice, at which point you’ll have healthy smoothies. In advance of making the drinks, I recommend slicing the peaches and pineapple and putting them in a plastic container or Ziplock and freezing. That way you’re blending frozen fruit so you don’t need to add ice, which would water down the slushies, or simply use bagged frozen fruit. Make them for your next pool party, bbq, or just because. They go down so incredibly easy.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups diced peaches (freeze before blending)
1 1/2 cups diced pineapple (freeze before blending)
2 shots Malibu Rum
2 shots pineapple vodka (regular vodka or your favorite flavored vodka may be substituted)
2 shots peach schnapps
grenadine for drizzling, optional
maraschino cherries for garnishing, optional
Directions:
- To the canister of a blender or food processor, add the fruit, liquors, and blend on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Divide mixture between two glasses and optionally drizzle with grenadine and garnish with cherries. Serve immediately. Extra slushie mixture can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 month by placing freezer-safe glasses inside a large ziplock bag to avoid freezer smells; allow to thaw for about 30 minutes before stirring and serving.

I love all your gorgeous smoothie recipes Averie! This one looks great. Peach + pineapple is such a great combo that I don’t think I would have thought of. And I actually have both right now…so definitely need to try this out! Pinned :) I hope you are having a great weekend!
I hope your weekend is going wonderfully & thanks for the pin!
The slushie texture (if you can call it that) makes me think summer summer summer! I love it -so refreshing and icy. These are almost to pretty to drink! But not quite ;)
Averie, you’re speaking my language here (the language of booze). This drink looks absolutely delicious and your photos are stunning. You must have one heck of a powerful mixer because your drink looks so smooth as opposed to icy. I don’t think I’ll be able to wait for fresh summer fruit before making this. I better get myself to the store for some frozen stuff!
How refreshing! You know I could have this all year long. And now that I’m moving back to LA, it’s practically summer 365 days of the year so I may just make this once a week! :)
Yep, I could probably put down nineteen of these. I LOVE slushies; they remind me of summers as a kid slurping up Slurpees from 7-11 after walking up there in a bathing suit and towel. So delicious!
And in Miami, we would have!!! Agh. Timing. And yes these are totally like a 7-11 Slurpee! We happen to live a few blocks from a 7-11. Ahem :)
Oh my gosh! This looks phenomenal. Can’t wait to try it. I’m thinking about substituting mangos for the peaches for a very tropical version. Thank you!
You can’t go wrong with mangoes – I love them!
What a great way to cool off! Sounds very refreshing. A great summer treat!
Thanks for all your comments and support today! :)
No sugar added doesn’t always mean no sugar. This is still a very sugary drink… This is definitely not for diabetics. I estimate about 35 grams (1 1/4 ounces) of pure sugar in each drink. Around 25g for each of the fruits, and 12g in the Malibu and 12g in the peach schnapps. Divided into 2 glasses = 37g. And it has a lot of fructose in it which is the worst sugar health wise.
Not every drink is for every person, and sounds like it may not be for you, but it’s still better than using those pre-made drink mixes with the first ingredient being corn syrup. At least every ingredient here is ‘natural’ and ‘real’ rather than you know pina colada mix for example where nothing is ‘real’. No ADDED sugar is correct in this recipe.
I made the recipe for “Tropical Peach Pineapple Slushies” and honestly can say that It`s really, really good drink for the hottest days! Thanks for sharing these summer cocktails with us.
