Summertime is better with Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Slushies! Frozen strawberries and freshly squeezed lemons, combined with vodka, a little bit of sugar and ice – make these drinks the hit of the party. Skip the vodka for virgin slushies!

Looking for more party cocktails to try? Look no further! Try my fan-favorite Classic Skinny Margaritas (or Swirl Margaritas), my personal favorite Mai Tai Recipe, or some tangy Limoncello Moscow Mules. There is also the Classic Moscow Mule as well!

Best Vodka Slush

I’m not gonna lie. I like my fruity drinks. But the reason I don’t drink them very often, is because they are LOADED with sugar. I usually stick with beer and wine when we go out on the weekends, because I’m afraid I’ll get some on-tap sugar zapper.

You know, the margaritas or daiquiris or sangrias that are in those machines – and they crank them out one after another. “Here’s your blood-sugar-buster ma’am.”

No thanks. I’ll make my own at home.

It’s summertime, and I’m ready to crank out a few lower-sugar belly-slimming drinks right here in my kitchen. YES please.

Do you love the combo of strawberries and lemon like I do? If so, try some Strawberry Vodka Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade Frozen Margaritas!

Ingredients Needed

Frozen Strawberries – Buy the ones with NO sugar added. That way you can control how sweet you take your drinks.
Fresh Lemons – You know how I am about fresh lemons and limes. SO good, so worth it.
Vodka – Get a good quality vodka, and avoid the cheap stuff. Your body will thank you for it. OR, skip the vodka altogether for a virgin cocktail.
A little sugar (or honey) – Use as much or as little as you like.
Ice – The colder the better, LOL.
Friends – The more, the merrier, right? 😀
Fun stuff – Cute mason jars, and reusable glass straws for the win! (Not required but kinda fun! See below for the ones I have.)

Anyone wanna come over for cocktails and snacks? 😀

How to make Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Slushies:

Step 1
Make simple syrup (ahead of time). Either on your stove top or in your microwave, combine an equal amount of sugar and water and cook until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until cooled.

Step 2
Squeeze the lemons. Using a citrus press (or your hands), squeeze a bunch of lemons, enough to get about 3/4 cup.

Step 3
Prep glasses. Pour some sugar on a plate. Take a lemon wedge and run it around the rims of your glasses. Turn them upside down on the plate to get a sugar coated rim. Place some lemon slices on the edge of glasses.

Step 4
Mix. In a blender (or Vitamix), combine frozen fruit, freshly squeezed lemon juice, vodka, simple syrup (or honey), and ice (if needed), and puree until smooth. You may need to do this in two batches if blender isn’t large enough.

Step 5
Serve. Pour slushies into glasses, insert straws, and enjoy!
