Honey Apricot Wheat Chill

A golden, effervescent stone fruit slush that turns a classic wheat ale into a summer masterpiece.

5 min prep · 45 min freeze 6 servings easy

This recipe transforms the crisp profile of a Belgian-style Witbier or Hefeweizen into a refreshing frozen treat. The natural esters of the wheat beer pair perfectly with sweet apricot nectar and a hint of wildflower honey, resulting in a perfectly balanced 12% Brix treat with a gentle carbonated kick.
