Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (berries, pineapple, mango, etc.) choose ripe, flavorful fruit
- 0.5 cup vodka use good-quality for smoothness
- 2 tbsp citrus juice (lemon or lime) brightens the flavor
- 1-2 tsp sweetener (honey, agave, or simple syrup) adjust to taste
- 2 cups ice crushed or cubed
Instructions
- Place a well-chilled glass or jar in the freezer to keep your slushie cold longer.
- Add the fruit to your blender—frozen or fresh—depending on what you have on hand. This gives the slushie its vibrant flavor and texture.
- Pour in the vodka, which acts as the backbone of the drink, bringing smoothness and warmth to each sip.
- Squeeze in the citrus juice to add brightness and a zesty kick that cuts through the sweetness.
- Sprinkle in your chosen sweetener—honey, agave, or simple syrup—adjusting to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Add the ice to the blender, which will transform all the ingredients into a frosty, slushy consistency.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds, until everything looks frosty and well combined. You should see a thick, icy mixture with a semi-smooth texture.
- Check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or soda and blend briefly. If it’s too runny, toss in a few more ice cubes and pulse again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Taste the slushie—adjust sweetness or citrus if needed, blending briefly to incorporate any tweaks.
- Pour the icy mixture into your chilled glass or jar, letting it mound slightly for a cozy, inviting look.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, a slice of citrus, or extra fruit pieces for a colorful finish.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the cold, refreshing, and boozy treat that’s perfect for hot days or relaxing evenings.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different fruits and spirits to customize your slushie. For a more adult twist, add a splash of flavored liqueur like Cointreau or Chambord. Always serve immediately before it melts into a more liquid state.
