Red, White & Blue Boozy Slush

This post is written in partnership with Smirnoff. All opinions are 100% my own.

It’s cocktail time!! And today I’ve whipped up an amazing Red, White & Blue Boozy Slush in honor of supporting Team USA in the Summer Olympics. Smirnoff recently released a special edition specialty vodka called Red, White & Berry just in time for the start of the Olympics. It’s a flavor combo of cherry, citrus and sweet blue raspberry. YUMMM!!
When Smirnoff reached out to me and challenged me to create my most #MERICA-worthy cocktail, I gladly stepped up to the plate. Show my support for the good ‘ole U.S.A. and get my creative juices going with a new cocktail creation = SIGN.ME.UP!
I ended up creating an amazing homemade lemonade based boozy slush. This Red, White & Blue Boozy Slush cocktail is the perfect treat on a hot, summer day. And a party winner at your next Red, White & Blue themed party. Scroll down below to get to the recipe!
