Whiskey Slushie

A whiskey slushie is a frozen cocktail made by blending whiskey with sweetened liquids and ice to create a smooth, slushy texture. It features a vibrant, icy appearance with a cold, refreshing profile, perfect for hot summer days. The mixture results in a semi-frozen drink with a julep-like consistency that is both boozy and cooling.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups whiskey your choice of bourbon or rye
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup adjust sweetness to taste
  • 2 cups ice cubes more for thicker consistency

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the whiskey, simple syrup, and ice cubes to your blender.
  2. Puree the mixture on high speed until the ice is fully crushed and the blend is smooth and slushy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Check the consistency; if it's too thick, add a splash more whiskey or a bit of water and blend briefly.
  4. Pour the icy mixture into chilled glasses, allowing it to mound slightly above the rim for a visual appeal.
  5. If desired, garnish with a lemon wedge or a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the refreshing, boozy chill.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness or alcohol content to your preference. For a smoother texture, briefly pulse the mixture if it’s too coarse.
