Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz spiced rum preferably a warming variety like cinnamon or vanilla spice
  • 2 tsp simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 2 cups ice cubes crushed ice works well
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon optional, for extra warmth
  • 1 drop vanilla extract optional, for enhanced aroma

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the spiced rum, simple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a thick, slushy consistency that’s slightly frothy on top.
  3. Stop blending and check the texture; it should be cold, creamy, and scoopable.
  4. Pour the frozen slushie into chilled glasses, allowing it to mound slightly over the rim.
  5. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a slice of citrus if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a smoother texture, you can pre-freeze the glasses or chill the ingredients beforehand.
