Ingredients

Ice: The foundation of our frozen treat, providing a chilly and satisfying texture and is what turns a regular drink into a slushie cocktail.

Lemon-lime soda: Offers a bubbly and zesty base to complement the other flavors.

Vodka: Gives the drink a smooth kick without overpowering the fruity elements.

Grenadine: Adds a touch of sweetness and a beautiful hue to the mix.

Lemon wedges (optional): Brighten up the drink and add a pop of citrus.

Maraschino cherries (optional): A classic garnish that adds charm and a hint of sweetness.

Instructions

Start by combining ice, lemon-lime soda, vodka, and grenadine in a powerful blender.

Then, blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Next, pour your frosty creation into highball glasses or your preferred choice of glassware.

Finally, top off your masterpiece with a lemon wedge and cherry, if desired, and revel in your delicious accomplishment!

Garnish Ideas

Lemon wedges: Add a burst of citrus and a vibrant touch to your presentation.

Maraschino cherries: A playful and sweet addition that complements the drink's flavors.

Maraschino Cherry Skewer: Skewer 3-4 maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick and rest it on the rim of the glass.

Citrus Twist: Create a twist of lemon or lime peel and drape it over the rim of the glass for a pop of color and a hint of citrus aroma.

Sugared Rim: Dip the rim of the glass in a mixture of lemon juice and then into a plate of colored sugar (red or pink would work well) to create a sweet, textured rim.

Fresh Berries: Add a few fresh raspberries or strawberries to the top of the slushie for a burst of flavor and visual appeal.

Edible Flowers: Float a small, edible flower (such as a pansy or nasturtium) on top of the slushie for an elegant touch.

Candy Garnish: Place a red or pink candy (such as a gummy bear or sour cherry candy) on a cocktail pick and rest it on the rim of the glass.

Mini Cocktail Umbrella: Add a fun, tropical touch with a mini cocktail umbrella placed directly in the slushie.

Remember to be creative and have fun with your garnishes, making your Dirty Shirley Slushie Cocktail both visually appealing and delicious!
