Fruity Frozen Cocktail
When the weather heats up, you need a cold drink to cool you down. You can’t get much colder than Outback Steakhouse’s Wallaby Darned. Well, I’ll be darned, the Wallaby Darned is more than just a clever pun; it’s also a spin on the classic Peach Bellini and is only available on the Outback drink menu.
You can make this frozen concoction at home. The Outback Wallaby Darned recipe is simple to throw together for yourself or a crowd. If you are into fruity, frozen cocktails, there is a good chance that you have just found your favorite new summertime adult beverage.
Bring Out the Blender
You need a blender with the power to crush ice into a smooth consistency to get the best results. While you don’t have to shell out hundreds of bucks for a top-of-the-line blender like a Vitamix, you’ll still want to use something with a bit of horsepower behind it. Some other tricks for getting the smoothies frozen cocktail are:
- Use the smallest ice cubes you can find. You can find a selection of mini ice cube trays online, and they do help eliminate chunks of ice in your frozen drink. If you don’t have small ice cubes, try crushing regular-sized ice cubes before adding them to the blender.
- Layer your ingredients. First, add the peach schnapps and vodka. Doing this will ensure that the blades can run free. Next, add your frozen peaches, and then finally, the ice.
- Start low and slow. A few quick pulses on the lowest setting help to get things going. Then slowly turn up the intensity until you reach the consistency you want. Avoid over-blending to prevent a thin cocktail.
All About the Alcohol
The Wallaby Darned is a frozen peach drink with vodka, peach schnapps, and Prosecco. While you can use just about any brand of alcohol you want, you will probably want to stay away from top-shelf bottles since this is such a peach-forward-flavored drink.
A fine choice for the vodka is Reyka. Many people praise Reyka, an Icelandic vodka, for its remarkable lack of taste, which, in this instance, is a positive. Again, you do not necessarily need the brand-name booze for this recipe. The only negative is that it isn’t exactly inexpensive. Believe it or not, the old stand-by Smirnoff vodka works well in this Outback Wallaby Darned recipe if you are looking for something cheaper.
Drinking peach schnapps has never been about enjoying the flavor of a premium spirit, and few brands offer bottles over 20 bucks. Choose the peach schnapps already in your liquor cabinet, or if you have to go to the store, pick up something inexpensive like Arrow, Allen’s, or Dekuyper Peachtree schnapps.
Prosecco is a type of Italian sparkling wine made from the Glera grape. It differs from Champagne and other sparkling wines by its grapes and carbonation process. Prosecco can be a bit on the expensive side, but you don’t need to spend big bucks for this cocktail. Look for Cupcake Vineyards Prosecco or Mionetto Prosecco Brut.

I’m interested in trying this recipe. Although, the real recipe at outback is made with champagne NOT Prosecco. I don’t know anything about either one. I don’t drink much. But I’m interested to see if this one might be better. Never know!! 👍

Last couple of times I was in my local Outback, on the menu it stated Prosecco. My guess is because it is less expensive than champagne. For a sparkling wine to be called Champagne it must be made in the Champagne region of France. You won’t be able to taste the nuances the sparkling wine because the fruit flavors will mask the flavor of the Champagne/Prosecco. Let me know what you decide!
