Each year, I make a huge batch of frozen vodka slush around Memorial Day. I keep it in the freezer for impromptu entertaining on our roof-top throughout the hot Summer months. I must admit, our guests are always thoroughly impressed when something so delicious is just waiting in the freezer for them and can be enjoyed at a moments notice.
Frozen Vodka Slush
Recipe Notes: Prepare this recipe a day or two in advance so the slush can freeze and be extra delicious when served. You also may want to double the recipe -yes, it’s that tasty- so pick up 2x’s the ingredients when you’re at the market!
Ingredients:
8 cups water
3 cups white sugar
juice of 2 lemons
juice of 2 oranges
one 48oz can of pineapple juice
one 12oz can frozen Minute Maid grapefruit juice
one 12oz can of frozen Minute Maid lemonade
26oz Vodka - I prefer Ketel One
Method:
First, make a simple syrup. Boil 8 cups water and stir in 3 cups white sugar. Continue to stir until the sugar incorporates with the water, for about 15 minutes. Let cool.
In a separate bowl, combine the juice of 2 lemons, 2 oranges, 1 48oz can of pineapple juice, 1 12oz can frozen Minute Maid grapefruit juice, 1 12oz can of frozen Minute Maid lemonade and 26oz Vodka.
Once the simple syrup is cooled, add the juice/vodka mix to the syrup. Stir and transfer into an air-tight tupperware container(s) with lid(s). Freeze.
When your guests arrive, stir the slush and fill the glass half-full with frozen vodka slush. Fill the rest of the glass with diet 7-Up. Enjoy!
Yum! Sounds like the perfect summer drink.

Two questions: can you use regular 7 up (artificial sugars in the diet stuff give me a headache) and how much does this make/serve?
I have that problem too. It’s nutrasweet. You can do Splenda, try it! Pepsi one is all splenda and doesn’t give me a migraine!

Sounds great. I bought such an item from tastefull simple. Havn’t tried it yet but same concept. Slushie lemonade with Vodka..
I’d probably use sparkling water or soda but I’m definitely trying this for Tucson’s hot summers. Thanks.
Do you use the frozen juice concentrate that you’re supposed to mix with water or do they make the regular juice already frozen?
Forgot to make it ahead of time so added mix to blender with ice to make it “slushy”. Did not add 7-up but added coconut rum—SO WONDERFUL!!!

This looks insanely delicious! I included it on my Summer Party Inspiration post: http://www.chic-sugar.com/2012/07/summer-party-ideas.html
I can’t wait to try this out!
I made this last week. The only thing I will do next time is halve the amount of grapefruit juice as it was a bit overpowering. Oh…and a little more vodka! :)
