Boozy Lemonade Slushies

The weather is finally heating up and we are finding the most delicious ways to cool down. Today we’re sharing a frozen lemonade drink that requires just TWO ingredients…

If you’d like these drinks to be kid-friendly, then they’ll only require ONE ingredient!

Here is what you’ll need:
– Bottled lemonade. You can make it fresh if you’d like, but we bought a bottle of Simply Lemonade to make it easier (plus it’s delicious!).
– Vodka. We used plain vodka, but try flavors like blueberry, cherry, or raspberry!
– An ice cube tray (or two!).
– A blender.
– Lemon slices, paper umbrellas, and paper straws to garnish.

Directions:
1. Pour lemonade into ice cube trays and freeze for 4 hours or overnight.
2. Remove lemonade cubes from tray and place in blender.
3. Add vodka to your liking! (This step is optional!)
4. Blend.
5. Garnish.
6. Serve!

So deliciously refreshing. What are your plans for the Summer? We’d love to hear!

Rock Candy Champagne

Who says the kiddos get to have all the fun? This sweet drink will make you feel like a kid again (well, minus the alcohol, of course).

On your designated cocktail table or bar cart, place a tray of champagne glasses and a bottle of bubbly. Put a stick of rock candy into each glass and let your guests do the rest! We used blue rock candy, but any color will do! The clear rock candy makes an extra classy look while still being sweet and fun.

Remember to drink responsibly and have a safe and happy New Year! 🙂

1. Hibiscus Iced Tea Sparkler | 2. Macha Mint Iced Tea | 3. Strawberry Pineapple Shaker-Upper
4. Citrus Infused Water | 5. Blueberry Lavender Lemonade | 6. Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade

As much as we love a good crisp cocktail on a hot Summer day, there’s really nothing better than a sweet and refreshing non-alcoholic drink to cool you down. Then again, you could easily add a shot of liquor to each of these and we would not blame you.

We hope everyone is enjoying their Summer! Stay cool 🙂
