summer slushies


lime, mango, strawberry slushy




adult slushies: take a cranberry, lime & strawberry slushy and add vodka, rum or tequila.

the taste is so refreshing and perfect on a hot summer day....

...and even better to drink in the company of a good girlfriend, while having some girl chat!
kid friendly slushy: 
  • two parts frozen fruit (I used mango chunks and strawberries)
  • one part ice cubes
  • minute maid limeade, pour until liquid fills to the top of the frozen fruit.
Blend using the 60 second function on the OmniBlend V blender.  ENJOY!!

note for smoothies and slushies:  I do not fill the container more than 3/4 full....it blends easier that way!


Adult Slushy Cocktail:
  • 2 parts frozen fruit ( I used 1.5 parts strawberries, 0.5 parts cranberries)
  • 1 part ice cubes
  • minute maid limeade, pour until liquid fills to top of the frozen fruit
  • 1 oz. vodka per cup of blended smoothie (rum or tequila would be great too!)
Blend using the 60 second function on the OmniBlend V blender.  ENJOY!!

note for smoothies and slushies:  I do not fill the container more than 3/4 full....it blends easier that way!

Nick, my sister and I enjoyed the afternoon sipping our slushy cocktails....noting how refreshing the limeade was in combination with the strawberries and cranberries.  We also made field berry and limeade slushy cocktails, following the same ratio as above...both were so good, but my favorite was the strawberry and cranberry!

Enjoy!
