Summertime is rapidly approaching! What does that mean?? Kickin' back on the back porch and Summer parties, of course. To celebrate this long awaited warm weather, I concocted a Naomi Blackburn original to bring out the kids in all of us. OK, to be honest, I just had a Slurpee last month.
This drink is not a truly frozen drink. It should have a slushy appearance. I used thawed frozen strawberries versus fresh strawberries. The reason for this is that I wanted the juice off the frozen berries that would not have been present with the fresh berries. Also, I kept the alcohol in the actual drink relatively low. Have a drinker who likes their drink strong? Increase the float of citrus vodka from 1/2 ounce to a full ounce.
I wrote this recipe to make one drink. Need more? Simply double, triple or quadruple! Just remember to serve it before it goes to liquid.
So, here we go!:
Ingredients:
1.5 cups frozen strawberries thawed
1 oz simple syrup
1 oz citrus vodka
1/2 lemon, juiced
1.5 cups ice cubes
Add'l citrus vodka
Lemon slices, for garnish
Directions:
1) Place first 5 ingredients in blender and blend until it has a slushy consistency. Pour into glass.
2) Top with 1/2 to 1 ounce of citrus vodka and garnish.
