It’s about to get sticky-hot up in here, Midwest friends! So I had to pass this doozy along…you’re going to want to drink these to no end these next few days. And just because I love you so much, I am giving you full permission to add vodka to make a grown-up version. Take it or leave it, but if you do so feel inclined..cheers;)
These slushies have been all the rage in the Oprish house these last couple of weeks. We are addicted! A perfect blend of tart and sweet and refreshing to no end. I love that they are sweetened with agave and they really are such a cinch to whip up!
Thinking these would be a perfect addition to a 4th of July menu, too….they just scream summer!
Fresh Lemonade Slushies
Ingredients
8 Cups Ice
1 Cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Cup Cold Water
1/3 Cup Agave Nectar
Directions
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend on high until they’ve reached a slushie consistency. Serve immediately.
Because it’s supposed to be 103F today, I’m salivating at the mere thought of tasting this refreshment!
Do you think you could you substitute honey for the agave?
Great question! You can certainly try. I chose agave because it’s more of a think liquid and blends nicely into the slush is. I would worry that the honey may be too thick and harden with all of that ice..but it’s worth a shot to see!
