Equipment
Method
- Measure and pour the whiskey into the blender, filling about a quarter of the container.
- Add the ice cubes into the blender, spreading them evenly over the whiskey.
- Pour in the simple syrup, which will balance the drink's flavors and add sweetness.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is slushy and smooth, with a slightly icy yet liquefied consistency.
- Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be evenly frozen with a frosty appearance, like a thick snow cone.
- Pour the blended whiskey slushie into chilled glasses or cocktail cups, capturing the icy, frosty look.
- Optionally, garnish with a twist of lemon or a cherry for visual flair.
- Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon to enjoy the cold, spirited sip.
Notes
For a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup; for a stronger flavor, increase the whiskey. Be sure to serve immediately to enjoy the optimal icy texture.
