I don’t drink alcohol so when Old World Gourmet, an upscale food and beverage company, contacted me about reviewing and giving away a set of their new line of Vino-Licious wine mixers I contacted one of my recipe guest writers here at Screwed Up Texan to try it out. Vino-Licious comes in several fruity flavors including Peach-Bellini, Sangria, Pomegranate Blueberry, and Lemoncillo Freeze. Vino-Licious can also be purchased as a set in either a red or white wine specific variety. Stay tuned after TJ’s very honest review for your opportunity to WIN their white or red wine mixers set (value $24)!
From TJ Gilmore:
“OWG has taken wine, slammed a frozen drink mix on top and given people a sugary, wine flavored margarita for the effort.
If you’re a wine snob–stop. You’ve got a Martha Stewart recipe for mulled wine or sangria with about 1/20th of the sugar and five times the pretension.
If you’re looking for something sugary sweet with a twang of wine sophistication… Who am I kidding. There’s nothing sophisticated about this stuff. The ice flavor tastes like unknown fruit cocktail while sangria has a slight hint of orange and the blueberry tastes like a Hostess blueberry pie.
I don’t think I’d use a wine that I’d spent more than a few dollars on as it completely masks any wine flavor- you’re basically adding alcohol to the powder and tossing it in the freezer.
The Pros:
It freezes up great, can be served with an ice cream scoop, and is basically an option to the Frozen Strawberry Margarita for your friends who get tequila rage.
So if you’re looking for something slushy, sugary, and a way to mask that bottle of wine that might be on the verge of vinegar, this is the stuff. There’s enough difference in the fruit flavors to comment on, and it’s great adult kool-aid.”
