Whiskey Slushie

The whiskey slushie is a frozen cocktail that combines smoky whiskey with sweet syrup, blended into a smooth, icy mixture. Its textures are both creamy and refreshing, with a vibrant appearance from the icy slush and a golden hue from the whiskey. The final result is a chilled, semi-frozen drink with a bold, layered flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. Measure out one cup of whiskey and pour it into the blender.

  3. Toss in two cups of ice cubes, filling the blender to achieve a thick, icy mixture.
  4. Secure the lid on the blender and pulse a few times to start breaking down the ice.
  5. Blend the mixture on high until the ice is finely crushed and the drink is smooth, about 30-40 seconds, making a thick, slushy consistency.
  6. Check the texture; if desired, add more ice and blend briefly for a firmer slushiness.
