recipe: boozy summer slushies

Ever since we got our Vitamix we've been using it at least once a day and as such *we have been getting pretty innovative with our creations (*and by we I really mean Craig).

Here is one of his recent creations that has become a favorite. He calls it a "Pom Royal". I told him he should come up with something better, because that wasn't a very "pinnable" name for Pinterest, but he told me too bad...that's what it's called. Sigh.

Nonetheless, it's delicious.

Pom Royal (Boozy Slushie)

INGREDIENTS:

- 3 fl. oz. white rum (2 shots)

- 1.5 fl. oz. pomegranate syrup (1 shot)

-RC cola to taste (my husband says RC is essential, though he is a diehard fan)

-3/4 cup ice cubes

DIRECTIONS:

-Combine white rum, pomegranate syrup and ice cubes and blend to desired consistency. Don't over blend or you'll end up with non-slushies.

-Add the RC cola to taste at the end. Do not blend it with the best of the drink or you'll end up with a foamy carbonated mess. 

A perfect summer drink with a bit of a nostalgic flair and a grown-up twist. Let me know if you try it!

Love and slushies,

Lauren
