RECIPE: Raspberry-Lemonade Vodka Slushies
We're cooking up a cocktail today! Watch how easy it is to make a super delicious raspberry-lemonade vodka (aka "adult") slushie.
Ingredients
6 cups (1.5 L) low-calorie raspberry flavour lemonade mix - prepared with water
8 fl oz (250 ml) lemon-lime flavour diet soda
8 fl oz (250 ml) raspberry flavour vodka
½ cup (125 ml) fresh lemon juice
6 oz, (170 g) fresh raspberries
¼ cup (60 ml) fresh mint leaves - for garnish
Instructions
Pour 4 cups lemonade into 2 standard-size ice cube trays (16 cubes each). Freeze lemonade cubes until solid (several hours or overnight). Reserve remaining 2 cups lemonade in refrigerator.
When ready to make slushies, combine 1 tray lemonade ice cubes, 1 cup reserved refrigerated lemonade, 1/2 cup soda, 1/2 cup vodka and 1/4 cup lemon juice in blender; blend until smooth. Pour into 4 glasses; garnish each with a small skewer of raspberries and some mint leaves. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 more slushies.
Yields about 1 cup per serving.
