Where the calories live

The red wine brings the biggest share of the calories here, about 40 percent of the batch, with the orange juice next in line.

About the alcohol

The pour is part of the flavor and part of the math: about 49 percent of the calories in every glass come from the alcohol itself.

Want a lighter pour

Pour a smaller glass and top it with sparkling water. The flavor stretches and the landing gets gentler.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three batch sizes?

For 2 to 3 servings: 1¼ cups red wine, 2½ tablespoons orange liqueur or brandy, 1½ cups orange juice, and 1½ tablespoons light brown sugar. For 4 to 6 servings: 2½ cups wine, ⅓ cup liqueur or brandy, 3 cups orange juice, and 3 tablespoons sugar. For 6 to 8 servings: 3¼ cups wine, ½ cup liqueur or brandy, 3¾ cups orange juice, and ¼ cup sugar.

Any cleaning tip for wine slush?

Yes: for easier cleaning, do not turn the preset off until all the frozen drink has been dispensed. Sangria residue is much easier to rinse while the vessel is still cold and wet.

Which red wine works best?

A fruity, low tannin red like a merlot or a rioja keeps the slush bright. Heavy, oaky wines can taste bitter once frozen.

Brandy or orange liqueur?

Both are traditional. Orange liqueur leans citrus and sweet; brandy leans warm and deep. The amount stays the same either way.
