CRANBERRY VODKA SLUSH

A quick, easy drink to make. This recipe makes quite a bit and it can be kept in the freezer for months, as long as it's in a tightly sealed container. I've made this for holidays, family get-togethers, baby showers (non-alcoholic for the mom-to-be of course), bridal showers/bachelorette parties and other events. * "50/50"...

Categories     Cocktails

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 oz box cherry jello
1 c boiling water
3 c cold water
2 c cranberry juice
12 oz frozen orange juice concentrate, slightly thawed
12 oz frozen lemonade, slightly thawed
2 c vodka
50/50 or squirt soda (citrus flavored sodas)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large container, dissolve the Jello in boiling water. Add the remaining ingredients, EXCEPT the soda; stir until well blended. Cover the container tightly, place in the freezer for at least 7 hours (overnight works best though) or until its completely "slushy."*
  • 2. When ready to serve, spoon the slush into a glass and add 50/50 or Squirt soda.
  • 3. * If you make non-alcoholic version, stir every few hours so it doesn't completely freeze solid (alcoholic version won't freeze solid with the vodka in it).

Tips:

  • Utilize Fresh Cranberries: For the most vibrant flavor and color, opt for fresh cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before blending.
  • Chill Vodka and Glassware: Pre-chill the vodka and glassware to ensure the slush stays frozen longer.
  • Blend until Slushy: Continue blending until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency. If desired, adjust the amount of ice for a thicker or thinner slush.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the cranberry vodka slush immediately to fully enjoy its icy texture and refreshing taste.
  • Garnish for Presentation: For an aesthetically pleasing presentation, garnish the slush with fresh cranberries, lime wedges, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

The cranberry vodka slush, with its vibrant color, tangy flavor, and refreshing icy texture, is a delightful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. Its simplicity in preparation and the versatility of ingredients make it a favorite among both cocktail enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. Whether enjoyed during a backyard barbecue, a festive gathering, or simply as a relaxing treat, the cranberry vodka slush is guaranteed to tantalize taste buds and create memorable moments. So, gather your ingredients, chill your glasses, and embark on a refreshing journey with this tantalizing cocktail. Cheers!
