-
???? 1 cup lemonade (store-bought or homemade) – for citrus tang
-
???? 5 to 6 cups ice – to get that perfect slushie texture
-
???? ¼ cup simple syrup or agave (optional, adjust to taste)
???? Optional Add-ins:
-
???? ½ cup frozen blueberries – adds flavor and deeper color

???? 1 tablespoon orange zest – for citrus depth
-
???? Mint leaves – for garnish
-
???? Coarse sugar or Pop Rocks – to rim the glass

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Glasses
If you’re rimming your glasses, do this first. Rub a lemon or lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip into coarse sugar or Pop Rocks for a fun, sparkling edge.
Step 2: Load Up the Blender
In a high-powered blender, add:
-
1 cup blue curaçao
-
1 cup vodka or rum
-
2 cups pineapple juice
-
1 cup lemonade
-
¼ cup simple syrup (optional)
-
5–6 cups of ice
Optional: Toss in frozen blueberries or a bit of orange zest for extra depth and a slightly richer color.
Step 3: Blend It Smooth
Blend on high until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. You want it thick enough to scoop with a spoon but thin enough to sip through a straw.
Taste and adjust sweetness or strength. Add more ice for thicker texture, or a splash more vodka for stronger kick.
Step 4: Serve Immediately or Freeze
Pour into prepared glasses. Garnish with lemon slices, mint, or a few blueberries. Serve immediately.
If you’re prepping ahead, pour into freezer-safe containers or resealable bags and freeze. Just give it a quick stir or re-blend when ready to serve.
Notes
-
Use crushed ice for best blending results.
-
Blue curaçao is sweet and citrusy, so you may not need much extra sugar.
-
Don’t over-blend—aim for a thick consistency that holds up in the heat.
