Rum Slushies

Rum slushies are frozen, icy beverages made by blending rum with fruit juices and sweeteners, resulting in a vibrant, slushy texture. The mixture is pureed until smooth and served chilled, offering a refreshing, dessert-like drink with a colorful appearance. They are typically prepared with minimal ingredients, relying on the frozen fruit and alcohol for their signature texture and flavor.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups frozen tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, or mixed) preferably frozen for icy texture
  • ½ cup white or flavored rum adjust to taste
  • ¼ cup fruit juice (orange, pineapple, or mango) adds flavor and helps blending
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Measure out the frozen fruit, rum, fruit juice, and sweetener, and place them into your blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy, with no large fruit chunks remaining—about 30 seconds to a minute.
  3. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it’s too thick, add a splash more fruit juice and blend briefly to thin slightly.
  4. Pour the icy mixture into chilled glasses, allowing the vibrant color to shimmer through.
  5. Garnish each glass with a slice of tropical fruit or a sprig of fresh mint for an inviting touch.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the icy, boozy refreshment.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with extra fruit juice. For a stronger flavor, add a splash of coconut cream or use flavored rums like coconut or citrus varieties.
