Tropical Wine Slushy

Tropical Wine Slushy

Cold and thick, this fruity and refreshing adult beverage is perfect for summer! The combination of fruit is perfect and blends well with the wine. Peach schnapps and triple sec dilute the wine flavor a bit. We taste-tested this drink with a Moscato wine and recommend using a sweeter wine similar to that. Also, we did not use the optional seltzer because we liked the consistency and flavor of the slushy without it. If you want to thin the drink out a bit, absolutely add a splash or two. We've tried boozy slushies before, but this one is our new favorite.
Mint Julep

Mint Julep

This Mint Julep recipe is definitely not for the faint of heart. It's meant to be sipped so the ice melts while drinking. The simple instructions make preparing this refreshing cocktail at home a cinch. Muddling the mint leaves makes it quite refreshing and mixes wonderfully with the slightly sweet drink. It's smooth as silk and perfect to sip on for the Kentucky Derby or throughout the summer.
Frozen Watermelon Margarita

Frozen Watermelon Margarita

This cocktail screams summertime! Freezing the watermelon means you don't have to add much ice to this refreshing, adult only drink. It's sweet and full of watermelon flavor with a slight tang from the lime. Perfect for the beach or sipping poolside.
On the Beach

On the Beach

A cool and refreshing tropical drink perfect for the summertime. Great for your next pool party or backyard BBQ. We really enjoyed the mixture of the peach and citrus in this drink. Sip slowly though... this drink taste like punch and it will sneak up on you.
Frozen Blue Whale

Frozen Blue Whale

Cool, refreshing and oh-so-delicious, enjoy responsibly because these tasty drinks can sneak up on you. Whether you're sipping by the pool, lake, in your backyard or just the comfort of your own home, you're going to love these frozen Blue Whales this summer! Cheers!
Lynchburg Lemonade

Lynchburg Lemonade

The perfect cocktail to sip on at a cookout or by the pool. It's slightly tangy and tastes of citrus. The flavor of the whiskey is there, but not overwhelming. Makes sure to have a bowl full of cherries to serve with this, everything is better with a cherry on top. This cocktail will be a real crowdpleaser.
