seaside lemonade-blueberry slushie
I am creating this adult slushie for the Seaside Brasserie - Create your own Lemonade Challenge. Please note the vodka in this recipe is optional. You can control the flavor of this lemonade slushie easily; if you like an intense flavor add more of the syrup, if you like a subtle flavor add less syrup. I hope you will enjoy. If you have any leftover syrup you can add it to a cocktail or serve it with ice, club soda and fruit.
