Wanted: Glee Slushies

Posted by Megean on 5.24.2011

Tonight marks the season finale of Glee, a fab show full of singing and slushies – two of my favorite things! To commemorate, I’ve whipped up some delicious boozy strawberry limeade slushies, inspired by these from Smitten Kitchen. If you’re not a Glee fan, I’m not sure what’s wrong with you, but you’ll still love this summery drink.

Note: You should not waste these slushies by throwing them in someone’s face. Plus, that’s just mean.

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup limeade (you can use fresh lime juice, but I used the pre-made stuff)
2 cups ice
2/3 cup sugar
½-1 cup vodka (add at your own risk)
Club Soda (optional)

Blend the strawberries, limeade, ice, sugar, and vodka in a blender. If your blender is from 1953 and you are missing the lid (like me) you should cover it with a plate and a towel. Blend until the ice isn’t lumpy. You don’t want lumpy ice. Pour in a glass (bonus points if it’s chilled and fancy) and top with Club Soda (this is optional, it tastes just fine without it). Slurp with a straw.

Warning: These will knock your socks off. The booze really sneaks up on you, so adjust accordingly depending on your plans for the next day.

Enjoy!

Do you love Glee? How did you celebrate the trip to Nationals? Do boozy drinks improve your natural vocal talent?
