Description
A refreshing, three-step frozen cocktail made with frozen blueberries, vodka, and lemonade. This gluten-free and dairy-free slush is perfect for weeknight wind-downs or summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1.5 cups vodka
- 1.5 cups lemonade
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness of lemonade)
- Lemon wheels for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
- Ice (optional, only if berries aren’t frozen enough)
Instructions
- If frozen blueberries are clumped, place them in a sealed bag and smash them with a rolling pin or heavy pan to break them up.
- Add the frozen blueberries to a high-speed blender first, followed by the vodka, lemonade, and simple syrup.
- Blend on low speed to break up the berries, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 30-60 seconds until a thick, slushy consistency is reached.
- Taste the slush and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more simple syrup, lemonade, or frozen berries as needed.
- Serve immediately in tall glasses, garnished with a lemon wheel and mint sprig if desired.
Notes
Use frozen berries instead of ice to prevent watering down the drink. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with extra lemonade or sparkling water. Freeze glasses beforehand for a colder drink. Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
