Cherry Lemon Drop Slushy Shot + Coco Lime Slushy Shot

Slushy Shot Cups

Well, it seems as if frozen cocktails will be the theme of this week. I thought that packaging them in the fruit cups would be a cute idea. 

These frozen treats are very tart, but you can add a little sugar, honey or simple syrup to sweeten them up. I like my slushies pucker-worthy. 

They turned out quite strong (I like a cocktail with a bit of a bite) and weren't completely frozen due to the alcohol content (wow, I'm making myself sound like a winner!). You can always add a little juice or water to make the slushy a little more solid, or to tone down the strength of the cocktail. 

Enjoy!
