What better way to beat the heat this summer than with some frozen wine slushies?
Take last year's generic frosé game to the next level with these fruity and boozy recipes that feature tropical flavors, fresh fruits and generous amounts of wine.
Maurizio Chiovaro, the general manager at the restaurant in New York City's Omni Berkshire Place hotel, breaks down for "Good Morning America" how you can make the ridiculously refreshing and colorful cocktails you may have swooned over on Instagram at home.
"All three of these are super easy to make," Chiovaro told "GMA." "You can find these ingredients all summer long in your local grocery store."
