Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed citrus juice (e.g., lemon, lime, or orange) preferably chilled
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup or honey adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup vodka your choice of vodka
  • 1 cup ice cubes preferably small or crushed
  • Optional fresh mint or citrus slices for garnish

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Citrus juicer or reamer

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled citrus juice into the blender.
  2. Add the simple syrup or honey to the blender for sweetness and balance.
  3. Pour in the vodka, ensuring the mixture will have a nice boozy kick.
  4. Add the ice cubes to the blender to create a frosty, slushy consistency.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and icy, about 30-45 seconds.
  6. Check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash of citrus juice or water and pulse briefly.
  7. Pour the icy slushie into chilled glasses, filling them generously.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint or a slice of citrus for an appealing presentation and aroma.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon to enjoy the refreshing, textured beverage.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness and citrus to your taste. For a frozen cocktail with a smoother texture, blend longer or add more ice. Best enjoyed fresh while icy cold.
