Ingredients
Serves 4
-
2 oz vodka (use citrus vodka for extra zing)
-
1 oz triple sec (or another orange liqueur)
-
2 oz lemonade (fresh-squeezed preferred)
-
1 cup cold water
-
1–2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
-
1 cup ice (for blending)
-
Optional: sliced strawberries and lemon wheels, for garnish
-
Optional: sugar for rimming glasses
Instructions
-
Blend the Base
In a blender, combine vodka, triple sec, lemonade, water, sugar, and ice. Blend until smooth and slushy—like soft-serve in a glass. -
Pour and Add Fruit
Divide the slush into small freezer-safe cups or mason jars. Drop in fresh fruit slices—strawberries and lemon wheels look beautiful! -
Freeze
Cover the cups and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight. They’ll firm up into a perfect spoonable texture.
-
Serve
Run a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass and dip in sugar if desired. Peel off the cover and enjoy straight from the jar or scoop into a glass and sip with a straw!
Notes
-
Mocktail Version: Skip the vodka and triple sec—use lemonade and a splash of orange juice instead. Kid-approved and just as tasty!
-
Make it Sparkle: Add a splash of lemon-lime soda just before serving for a fizzy finish.
-
Boozier Twist: Double the vodka for an extra-strong slush (but sip responsibly!).
-
Make-Ahead Tip: These freeze beautifully. Prep them the night before your gathering and they’re party-ready!
-
Serving Tip: Try garnishing with mint leaves or edible flowers for a pretty finish.
