Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups/spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup whiskey preferably bourbon or rye
- 1 cup frozen fruit berries, peaches, or bananas
- 0.25 cup simple syrup adjust sweetness to taste
- 0.25 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cup ice crushed or small cubes
- optional club soda or water to adjust texture if needed
Instructions
- Measure out the whiskey, frozen fruit, simple syrup, and lemon juice, then add them to your blender.
- Add the ice on top of the other ingredients, creating a mound in the blender.
- Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture starts to look icy and chunky, with a frosty surface forming.
- Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be thick, scoopable, with a crackly icy surface. If it's too thick, add a splash of club soda or water.
- Add a little more whiskey if you want it stronger, then pulse gently a few times to incorporate.
- Once the mixture is thick, icy, and well combined, pour it into chilled glasses.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint or a lemon wedge for a fresh touch, then serve immediately to enjoy the frosty, boozy goodness.
Notes
For a creamier texture, blend in a frozen banana. Adjust sweetness with more or less simple syrup. Serve immediately for the best icy experience.
