Grown Up Slushies

By srumbel

These very grown up frozen cocktails that I have for you here are your favorite 7-11 childhood treat upgraded—seriously upgraded. With their bright showy color and delicious flavors, I feel like these are almost a necessity for the next party that you have! Wouldn’t a platter of these in all different colors be amazing to carry out to your friends? And really, they could be perfect for lots of occasions, from brunch to BBQs. While hot weather would be a bonus, it is by no means a requisite!

These are definitely made-to-order drinks. Much like a blended margarita or daiquiri, you don’t want to let these sit too long, or they will melt and separate.

Preparation

Step 1

For the simple syrup:
Bring the water and sugar to a simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool.

For the slushie (double or triple as needed, depending on the size of your blender):
Chill your glass(es) in the freezer before making.

Combine everything in the jar of a blender and puree on low at first and then on high until you have a very well-blended creamy blend of everything. Carefully pour into the prepared glass and garnish if desired. Serve immediately.
