Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 cup fresh citrus juice (lemon, lime, or orange) preferably freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup adjust sweetness to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves lightly crushed
• 3 ounces whiskey your choice of bourbon or rye

WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE?

• It combines my love for icy treats with the need for electrolytes during summer hikes.

• It’s a nostalgic nod to sports days and family picnics of the past.

AVOID MY DISASTER (You’re Welcome)

• FORGOT to freeze the Gatorade overnight? It will be too soupy—freeze for a few hours first.
• DUMPED all the Gatorade in one container, then realized it was too thick—add a splash of water, then re-freeze.
• OVER-TORCHED the mixture when trying to speed up freezing—use a lower setting or smaller container next time.
• MISSED adding lemon juice? It dulls the flavors; squeeze fresh before freezing for a zesty kick.

QUICK FIXES THAT SAVE YOUR DAY

• When slush is too icy: splash in a little hot water, stir, then re-freeze for a smoother texture.
• Shield the mixture with a plastic wrap if ice crystals form unevenly on top.
• When flavor’s dull: add a few drops of lime or lemon juice and stir well.
• When you forget to blend: quick stir with a fork or spoon while serving.
• If mixture refuses to freeze: work in a smaller container or a metal tray, speed up the process.
