Ingredients
- 2 cups lemonade
- 1 cup vodka
- 2 cups ice
- Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 2 cups of lemonade, 1 cup of vodka, 2 cups of ice, and fresh berries for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the 2 cups of lemonade and 1 cup of vodka.
- Add the 2 cups of ice to the blender. Ensure that the ice is evenly distributed for a smooth slushie texture.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is crushed and the mixture is slushy and well combined. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Check the consistency of the slushie. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more lemonade; if it’s too thin, add more ice and blend again.
- Once you achieve your desired slushie consistency, pour the mixture into four glasses.
- Garnish each glass with fresh berries. You can use strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a patriotic touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Patriotic Vodka Lemonade Slushie!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh lemonade or a high-quality store-bought version. Fresh berries will also enhance the taste and presentation.
- Adjust the Consistency: If your slushie is too thick, add a splash of lemonade; if it’s too thin, toss in a bit more ice. Blend until you reach your desired texture!
- Blend in Batches: If you have a smaller blender, consider blending in two batches to ensure everything is well combined and icy.
- Garnish Creatively: Get creative with your garnishes! In addition to fresh berries, consider adding a sprig of mint or a slice of lemon for an extra pop of color.
- Make it a Mocktail: For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and add an extra cup of lemonade for a refreshing drink that everyone can enjoy!
- Chill Your Glasses: For an extra frosty experience, chill your glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve Immediately: Slushies are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them right after blending for the ultimate refreshing experience.
