This Raspberry Red Wine Slushy is Topped with Chocolate Whipped Cream

— January 6, 2016 — Lifestyle
Convenience culture has many consumers looking for the easiest yet most delicious way to indulge, which is exactly the case with this raspberry red wine slushy with chocolate whipped cream.

The reformatting of desserts as seen with this cocktail could also be tied to social media foodie culture; as consumers become delighted by unexpected flavor infusions and formats, they seek out ways to join in with followers to share their experience. What's best, the raspberry red wine slushy with chocolate whipped cream can be made at home, which helps enhance approachability.
