Sorry kids. These alcoholic slushies are strictly for the adults. I found 20 recipes loaded with tequila and rum to make your summer shine.
My childhood was full of colorful slushies. I still crave that icy fruit flavor. These boozy versions save the day.
1. Strawberry Wine Slushies
Does anyone else love that song about strawberry wine? Love it or hate it. You will absolutely adore this invigorating drink. It is crisp and refreshing.
You only need three ingredients. Grab frozen strawberries and red wine plus lemonade. It takes five minutes to make.
2. Pineapple Rum Slush
This icy and creamy slushie is the perfect Caribbean cruise drink. Nothing screams tropical vacation quite like a sweet rum cocktail.
It is full of frozen pineapples. You will also use coconut milk. There is plenty of rum in there too.
3. Caramel Apple Vodka Slush Cocktail
The cold slushy consistency makes this a good choice for summer. However. The apple cider and caramel flavors make it a fall favorite too.
You will taste cinnamon as well. It uses only five ingredients. It takes just five minutes to make.
4. Frozen Strawberry Margarita
This is basically a frozen margarita slush. You just add lots of frozen strawberries. They provide extra sweetness and color.
Have you ever had a frozen strawberry margarita at a Mexican restaurant? Then you know this tastes incredible.
5. Tropical Peach Pineapple Slushies
These pretty yellow drinks combine frozen peaches and pineapples. You also use Malibu rum and pineapple vodka. Add peach schnapps too.
Top it off with grenadine and cherries for a tropical treat. Do not let the mild flavor fool you. Each one contains three types of liquor. They are strong drinks.
6. Blackberry Moscato Slushies
Saying this drink tastes like blackberry wine is a bit easy. It is literally blackberries and wine. That is the best way to describe it though.
Think of it as a rich and sweetly tart blackberry wine. It is just much slushier.
7. Frozen Vodka Slush
This recipe has the strangest mixture of ingredients on the list. It combines frozen orange juice and lemonade with water.
You also add sugar and green tea plus vodka and Sprite. It is bubbly and zesty. Make it a day ahead of time. The mixture needs to freeze overnight.
8. Watermelon Grapefruit Wine Slush
Check out this recipe if you need a fun slushie that is not overly sweet. The watermelon and Reisling do make it pretty sweet.
The lemon juice and grapefruit juice tone it down a lot. Mint leaves help too. Go heavier on the grapefruit juice if it is still too sweet for you.
9. Sex on the Beach Slushies
The six-ingredient Sex on the Beach is a summer favorite. You can make it even better by turning it into a slushie.
It has the same sweet and tangy taste as the original. It is just much colder. That means it will cool you down faster.
10. Frozen Blue Hawaiian
Are you looking for a vibrant drink to catch attention? Check out this yummy Hawaiian cocktail. It is so bright that it is almost ultra-violet.
You might assume it would be sour. It isn’t. It is rich and tropical with plenty of coconuts and pineapples.
11. Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Slushies
It is hard to beat strawberry lemonade when it comes to summertime drinks. That makes these vodka slushies ideal.
You use frozen strawberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice. It creates a bright and crisp flavor. Add a bit of simple syrup and ice.
12. Frozen Margarita Slush
I love icy white drinks because they look elegant. This frozen margarita slush is the best of them all. Its taste is 100 percent pure margarita.
It is tart and tangy with plenty of lime. This is the perfect drink for Cinco de Mayo.
13. Raspberry Vodka Slush
This five-minute drink is an excellent choice if you like tart slushies. It features the robust flavors of raspberries and citrus.
There is a hint of vodka underneath. It is packed with vitamin C. You can get your daily dose while getting your buzz on.
14. Bourbon Peach Slush
This bourbon peach slush is an ideal mix of sweet and savory. It tastes exactly like peaches and bourbon.
You add sugar and peach simple syrup to tone down the sharp edges. You will still taste the liquor though. This is a Southern staple.
15. Pink Lemonade Vodka Slush
Pink lemonade vodka slush features the tartness of lemonade. It also has a bit of underlying sweetness. It looks as good as it tastes with its soft pink color.
You will also see bright splashes of yellow. Have a pitcher ready in 15 minutes.
16. Frozen Mango Margarita
This drink features two types of liquor. It also has lime juice and agave nectar. This bright orange slushie tastes like pure mango.
It is like popping a mango in a blender. The sea salt and chili powder rim give it spice.
17. Cherry Bourbon Slush
I adore bourbon cocktails because they are deep and complex. This cherry bourbon smash is no exception. It is almost smoky.
Maraschino cherry juice and lemon-lime soda mask most of the bourbon. You will still feel the warmth going down.
18. Vodka Watermelon Slushies
You need lemon juice and sugar for this delight. Grab four cups of seedless watermelon and vodka too.
It has that distinct flavor you only get from watermelon. It is light. You can taste the vodka so pick another spirit if you are not a fan.
19. Boozy Frozen Lemonade
You need nothing more than lemon sorbet and vodka for this icy white drink. Add lemonade and ice too. It is like hard lemonade but with a much stronger kick.
You will not really taste the vodka. The bright sour lemony notes cover it up.
20. Strawberry Peach Wine Slushies
Whip up one of these sweet wine slushies when you have five minutes. All you need is your favorite white wine. Add frozen strawberries and frozen peaches.
Include ice and simple syrup. The fruit is so sweet that you may not even want the syrup.
