Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons blue raspberry syrup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vodka
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 3 cups (about 700 g) ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon sugar or simple syrup (optional)
- Fresh raspberries or blueberries (optional for garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Roll the lime on the counter to soften it, then cut and juice until you have about 1 tablespoon (15 ml). Set aside.
- Add 3 cups (700 g) of solid ice cubes to a high-powered blender.
- Pour in 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of blue raspberry syrup.
- Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) vodka. For a lighter drink, reduce to 1/3 cup (80 ml) or substitute with rum.
- Add the 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of fresh lime juice.
- If desired, add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of simple syrup or sugar for extra sweetness.
- Pulse the blender on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the texture is icy and slushy but not watery. Adjust by adding a splash of cold water or soda if too thick, or more ice if too thin.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses or mason jars. Garnish with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and mint leaves if desired.
Notes
Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Do not over-blend to avoid watery texture. Chill glasses before serving to keep slushies icy longer. For non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Prepare liquid ingredients ahead and blend with ice just before serving for best texture.
