Sloshies

Mix, Freeze, Drink! Sophisticated, flavorful, with fresh ingredients and the perfect hit of booze, a sloshie is a high-octane slushie—the ideal summer drink. From sloshie expert Jerry Nevins, these crafted cocktails will jazz up (and cool down) backyard parties, barbecues, or any gathering with family and friends. And they are so easy to make: All you need is a zip-top bag and a freezer. But if you have a countertop slushie machine like the Ninja SLUSHi or an ice cream maker, even better! Every recipe can be adapted for larger capacity zip-top bags and machines. There’s something here for everyone. Choose from TART, SWEET, SPICED, or FLORAL and concoct something utterly delicious and totally refreshing. Chill like Prince with Purple Rain (p.83), sweet raspberry liqueur and blueberry moonshine mingle in frozen perfection. You shall not pass (up) on Gandalf’s Staff (p.141), a frozen IPA and elderflower liqueur shandy to shire with friends. And take flight with The Wintergreen Fairy (p.117), mint simple syrup, Aperol, and absinthe flutter on your tastebuds. The book includes recipes for syrups and infused liquors which form the building blocks for many of the recipes. There are also garnish and serving suggestions, and lots of other tips to ensure a foolproof sloshie experience. Plus find a list of suggested sloshie pairings and a recipe list by liquor type.
