Pineapple Mango Champagne Slushy

My neighbors brought over a bunch of fresh fruit for us. It included the biggest watermelon I've ever held, two bags of green grapes, and a box of mangoes. Apparently their relative gave them a ton of fruit and they needed to get rid of some. The watermelon is sitting on my floor until I figure out a plan with it. I love mangoes, and they're a little easier to eat right away. Plus, there's so many things you can make with this sweet fruit. 

This summer I've had some amazing and tasty alcohol slushies while dining out. I decided to make my own using frozen pineapple, mango, and Champagne. It was really easy to whip up in my blender and in no time, I had my own fun summer cocktail. 

I used one bottle, a 187 ml. size, of Cook's Brut, a 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple pieces, and a 1/2 cup of fresh mango. The mango should have been frozen, but it turned out fine. The texture of my slushy was like the ones I've had in restaurants, so I figure that's a good thing. I poured my Cook's in first, then added the fruit and blended. Then I poured my slushy mixture into a wine glass and garnished it with a strawberry. Cheers to refreshing summer drinks!
