GirlsGuideTo | 21 Summer Sips: Fruity Frozen Vodka Slushee

Imagine how nice it would be to come home after a stressful day at work followed by a long, hot commute home and open your freezer and find a yummy frozen treat that is sure to make you feel better. Or, imagine your friends decide to have an impromptu party…at your place. But you don’t care, because hidden in your freezer is the perfect frozen concoction that’s ready to serve.

The Fruity Frozen Vodka Slushee is maybe the most perfect summer drink. It’s really cold, for one (hence, “frozen” in the name). It’s really fruity like a grapefruit lemonade. It’s always ready to go when you are. And, you can mix it up in so many ways! Like trying Frozen Moscato Lemonade. Or adding strawberries. Or blueberries. Or basil…yum!
