Pelican Paradise
Batter up for a taste of summer! Duplin's Pelican Red’s light sweetness and burst of fruit finish isn't just delicious; it's our cheers to Minor League Baseball’s Myrtle Beach Pelicans! For a real grand slam of refreshment, blend it into the ultimate fan favorite: Pelican Paradise. Swirling layers of sweet Pelican Red Rush Sweetzer with zesty lemonade in a frosty wine slushie make every sip a celebration of the home team and Duplin's 2025 celebration of a decade at the beach — a can’t miss double header!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 packet Duplin Pelican Red Sweetzer wine slushie mix
- 1/2 bottle Duplin Pelican Red wine
- 1 packet Duplin Electric Lemonade wine slushie mix
- 1/2 bottle Duplin Sangria White wine
- ice
Directions:
Bartender's note: While we typically pair Electric Lemonade Sweetzer with Duplin Magnolia or Midnight Magnolia, for this recipe, we love how the mango and citrus notes of Sangria White enhance the Pelican Red Rush's burst of berry.
Garnish this drink with a mini baseball pennants you can make yourself. Copy a mini version of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans logo on a piece of paper cut into a tall triangle, with the logo on the wide end, and use glue to secure to a toothpick.
- Place 4 tall glasses in the freezer.
- Place strawberries, Pelican Red Rush Sweetzer mix and Pelican Red wine in a blender container. Whizz at high speed until mixture is thick and slushie. The mixture should be thick enough to mound on a spoon. Add more ice and blend again to thicken mixture. Remove mixture to a pitcher and place in the freezer.
