Vodka Lime Slush

Make sure the concentrates are only slightly thawed so they will freeze faster once mixed.

For extra flavor, try adding a splash of flavored liqueur or fruit schnapps.

If you want a creamier texture, add a splash of coconut cream or sweetened condensed milk.

Try different soda flavors, like grapefruit or orange soda, in place of the lemon-lime.

To make it a fun party drink, serve the slush in margarita glasses and add decorative salt or sugar rims.

You can use silicone molds to create fun shapes if you want to freeze the slush for a different presentation.

Can I make this slush without alcohol?

You can make a non-alcoholic version by omitting the vodka and increasing the amount of lemon-lime soda or adding more fruit juice or flavored sparkling water for flavor.

What other alcohol besides vodka can I use?

You could substitute tequila, gin, or rum for vodka in this recipe.

How do I make the slush less sweet?

Reduce the amount of sugar added or use a diet or low-calorie version of the frozen concentrates. You can also add more lemon-lime soda to dilute the sweetness.

How long does it take for the slush to freeze?

Typically, it takes about 2 hours for the mixture to freeze to a slushy consistency, depending on your freezer's temperature.

What is the best way to store leftovers?

Store any leftover slush in a sealed container in the freezer. You may need to mix it again before serving as it may freeze solid.

Can I make this slush in advance?

You can prepare the slush up to a few days in advance and store it in the freezer until ready to serve. Just make sure it's in a well-sealed container.

Is it possible to add other flavors?

You can add fruit purees, such as raspberry, strawberry, or mango, or add flavored syrups.
