Warm weather inspires thoughts of tasty drinks, and I have just the thing. This list features 20 sensational alcoholic slushies for every occasion.
Whether you need some inspiration for your next party or want a sweet, tangy, adults-only drink to sip poolside, this has you covered.
1. Frozen Strawberry Margarita
When you want something extra sweet and colorful, this is the ticket.
If you’ve ever enjoyed a frozen strawberry margarita at your favorite Mexican restaurant, you know this taste well. Recreate those amazing flavors at home.
This is a fantastic way to chill during the dog days of summer.
2. Watermelon Grapefruit Wine Slush
Looking for something that isn’t too sugary? Then this watermelon grapefruit wine slush should be on your radar.
Watermelon and Riesling combine to make it fairly sweet, for sure. Lemon juice, grapefruit juice, and mint leaves balance it out perfectly.
If that’s still too sweet, add more grapefruit juice, but be careful it doesn’t end up too bitter.
3. Strawberry Wine Slushies
Like strawberry wine, you’re sure to love this slushie. It’s fantastically boozy and invigorating.
Just lemonade, frozen strawberries, and red wine combine to make the magic happen. You only need five minutes to put it all together.
What could be better than that?
4. Frozen Vodka Slush
This drink has one of the more peculiar mixes of components on the list. Orange juice, lemonade, water, sugar, green tea, vodka, and Sprite are all combined.
If you’re partial to citrus and almost sour drinks, you’re bound to enjoy this one. It’s bubbly, icy cold, and zesty.
Remember to make it one day in advance, though. It needs to freeze overnight.
5. Frozen Blue Hawaiian
Want a vibrant drink that grabs everyone’s attention? Look no further than this Hawaiian cocktail.
The color is practically ultra-violet. Best of all, it tastes incredible, too.
You might anticipate that it’ll be exceptionally tart or even sour, given the color. But that isn’t the case. It’s tropical and rich, containing plenty of coconut, white rum, and pineapple.
6. Caramel Apple Vodka Slush Cocktail
The slushy, cold texture of this drink makes it an excellent option for summertime.
Yet, the cinnamon, caramel, and apple cider flavors make it a fall mainstay, as well. It calls for only five components, or six, if you add apple slices as a garnish.
It takes only five minutes to prepare, so you can’t go wrong.
7. Cherry Bourbon Slush
There’s nothing I adore more than a bourbon cocktail. They’re deep, intricate, and rich.
And this cherry bourbon smash does not disappoint. Though most of the bourbon is masked by the maraschino cherry juice and lemon-lime soda, it’s almost smoky.
All the same, the bourbon’s warmth comes through. You’ll want to relax back in your chair and light up a fat cigar with this one.
8. Sex on the Beach Slushies
The six-ingredient Sex on the Beach is a summertime go-to. It’s made even better in slushie form.
You get the same tangy and sweet taste as always. The texture cools you down fast and makes the drink even more refreshing.
9. Boozy Frozen Lemonade
You only need lemonade, vodka, lemon sorbet, and ice for this white drink.
It’s quite similar to Mike Hard’s Lemonade, but with a stronger kick. Since you’re using top-shelf stuff, the vodka taste will be imperceptible.
The bright, sour citrus flavors will completely cover it.
10. Pineapple Rum Slush
This creamy, icy slushie embodies the Caribbean cruise experience. Is there anything that screams “tropical vacation” more than a sweet and delicious rum cocktail?
Chock full of frozen pineapples, coconut milk, and every pirate’s favorite liquor, this drink is sure to transport you.
11. Pink Lemonade Vodka Slush
This is a warm-weather mainstay, for sure. Pink lemonade vodka slush features tart lemonade, offset by a bit of sweetness.
The drink is as appealing as it tastes, sporting a soft pink hue and bright yellow splashes from the lemons. You can have a whole pitcher ready in 15 minutes or less.
12. Strawberry Peach Wine Slushies
If you have five minutes to spare, mix up one of these fruity, sweet strawberry peach wine slushies. You just need white wine, frozen strawberries, frozen peaches, simple syrup, and ice.
Strawberries and peaches combine for a phenomenal taste. They’re so sweet that you might not even need simple syrup.
Taste it before you add it.
13. Frozen Margarita Slush
I’m a huge fan of icy, white drinks, largely due to how elegant they appear. This one is the best.
The flavor is pure margarita, sporting plenty of lime and a tart, tangy profile. For Cinco de Mayo, look no further than this drink.
14. Blackberry Moscato Slushies
It’s like rich, sweet, tart blackberry wine, except much, much slushier.
Saying it tastes like blackberry wine is a bit of a cop-out, however, as that’s essentially what it is. All the same, that’s the easiest way to paint a picture of what this drink offers.
15. Vodka Watermelon Slushies
All you will need for this watermelon delight is your choice of garnishes, sugar, lemon juice, vodka, and four cups of seedless watermelon. This distinct flavor can only come from watermelon.
It’s so simple and light. Be warned, however, that you can taste the vodka.
If that’s not your thing, swap for citrus vodka or white rum.
16. Bourbon Peach Slush
This is the ultimate blend of sweet and savory. It tastes precisely as you’d expect.
That is to say, like peaches and bourbon. It is a Southern staple you should not miss.
Add some peach simple syrup and half a cup of sugar to take the sharpest edges off the bourbon. Even so, you’re going to taste the liquor in this one.
17. Raspberry Vodka Slush
Here is a great pick for anyone who enjoys their slushies a bit on the tart side. In just five minutes, you can have it ready to go.
It delivers a robust flavor, offering a bit of vodka underneath robust notes of citrus and raspberries. Though it may not be red, white, and blue, this one would be incredible for the 4th of July.
It’s packed with vitamin C, so you can get your buzz on while downing your daily dose. How about that?
18. Tropical Peach Pineapple Slushies
These cute yellow drinks feature frozen peaches and pineapples, pineapple vodka, Malibu rum, and peach schnapps.
As if that wasn’t sweet enough, you’ll top it all off with grenadine and maraschino cherries, delivering a tropical treat that defeats the heat. Don’t let that mild taste trick you.
These are strong drinks. Enjoy them slowly.
19. Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Slushies
You simply can’t beat strawberry lemonade as a warm-weather drink. That makes these vodka slushies ideal for the summer.
Frozen strawberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice combine for that crisp, bright strawberry lemonade flavor. With some simple syrup and ice, you can barely even taste the alcohol.
20. Frozen Mango Margarita
This vibrant orange slushie tastes remarkably like pure mango, despite featuring lime juice and two kinds of liquor, together with agave nectar for extra sweetness.
It wouldn’t taste at all different than if you threw a mango in a blender, I can’t imagine it. The sea salt and chili powder rim, however, adds a touch of spice.
