The whiskey slushie is a chilled, semi-frozen beverage made by blending whiskey with sweeteners and ice until smooth. It has a slushy, icy texture with a vibrant golden hue, perfect for hot days or a refreshing adult treat. The combination creates a visually appealing, icy drink that balances the warmth of whiskey with refreshing coldness.

    1 cup whiskey, 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender, filling it up.
    3 cups ice cubes
  3. Blend the mixture on high until the ice is finely crushed and the beverage is smooth and slushy, about 30-45 seconds.
  4. Pause briefly to check the texture; it should be thick and scoopable but not too frozen.
  5. Pour the whiskey slushie into chilled glasses, allowing it to mound slightly at the top.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon for a cool, adult frozen treat.

Notes

For a different flavor twist, try adding a splash of citrus juice or using flavored whiskey.
