Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries preferably thawed slightly for easier blending
  • 0.5 cup whiskey choose a smoky or smooth variety
  • 2 tsp sugar optional, for sweetness
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice for brightness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen mixed berries in the blender and pulse a few times to break them apart.
  2. Add the whiskey, sugar, and lemon juice to the berries in the blender.
  3. Blend the mixture on high until the berries are fully broken down and the ingredients are well combined, about 30-60 seconds.
  4. Check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of water or more whiskey and blend briefly to loosen.
  5. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Cover the container and freeze for at least 2 hours, stirring once halfway through to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
  7. Once frozen to a slushy, scoop the mixture into glasses using a spoon or ice cream scoop.
  8. Garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a sweeter slushie, add more sugar or honey before blending. Adjust the whiskey amount for more or less boozy flavor. Serve immediately for the best icy texture.
