I went WAY outside my comfort zone this time and made my own frozen cocktail. Nothing says summer more than citrus & berries, so I did some experimenting and came up with a Grown Up Lemon-Berry Slush.
At the time I took the picture below, I was starting to questioning my plan.
But after some tweaks, I got the slushy goodness dialed in!
Grown Up Lemon-Berry Slush Recipe
12 oz Light Summer Beer (we love Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy)
6 oz Lemon/Citrus Vodka
14 oz frozen strawberries
+/- 3 Tablespoons Sugar (to taste)
Ice to fill blender
Blend everything to desired consistency and enjoy!
What is your go to drink in the summer?

Melissa George says

So…Thanks for making my favorite Sonic Slush into a cocktail. This may be dangerous for me this Summer!

This looks really yummy, I would love to sit on the beach with a good book and have this!! BUT unfortunately I can’t anymore since the move. So I’ll have to settle sitting on the porch with a good book after the kids go to bed. 🙂

I can’t wait to try this! I may be packing a blender for Haven so we can drink these together;) I’ve never tried summer shandy, but I’ve heard it’s really good. I’ll have to go buy myself a 6 pack. Some to taste and some for this cocktail!
Melissa George says
Yes! You definitely need to try a 6 pack. It’s delicious!

I’m a HUGE fan of Sonic’s Lemon-Berry Slush (and have added alkeehol!), This looks like an extension of that fun…stumbled!
Melissa George says
Thanks for visiting and stumbling Patti!!!

Love, love this! Pinned to try soon:) Too cute, grown up slushy! Around my house I would have to make 2 versions or my kiddos would scream:) Have a great week.
Melissa George says
It would be great with lemonade instead of alcohol for the kiddos!
