Should I use fresh nectarines or can I also use frozen nectarines?

You can use both fresh and frozen nectarines for the slushies. If you use frozen nectarines, you can reduce or even omit the amount of ice cubes.

Can I make the slushies in advance?

It is recommended to make the slushies just before consumption so they retain their frozen and refreshing texture. However, if you want to make them in advance, you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer and stir them briefly before serving.

Can I also replace the cava in these nectarine slushies with something non-alcoholic?

Absolutely! Would you like to make a delicious mocktail version for the kids or for yourself? Then replace the vermouth with a generous splash of fresh orange juice or a tasty elderflower syrup while mixing. The cava in the glass can then be perfectly replaced with an alcohol-free sparkling wine, ginger beer or simply sparkling mineral water. Just as festive and super refreshing!

Can I also use other summer fruits for this recipe?

Yes, yes, yes, experimenting is allowed! If nectarines are not in season or you want to try something different, you can perfectly prepare this recipe with ripe peaches, juicy mango, raspberries, or strawberries. Always make sure the fruit is cut into small pieces before freezing it, so your food processor can easily handle it the next day.
