Whiskey Frozen Slushie
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Gather all ingredients: ice cubes, whiskey, simple syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender until it’s about three-quarters full.
- Pour the whiskey over the ice, followed by the simple syrup and lemon juice.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 20-30 seconds until the mixture is slushy, with a granular, icy texture and a slight frosty sheen.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency; it should be thick and scoopable but not fully frozen solid.
- Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, letting the icy, granular mixture mound slightly over the rims.
- Optionally, garnish with a lemon twist or a sprig of fresh herbs for presentation and aroma.
- Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon and enjoy the cool, spicy flavors with each sip.
