Tropical Rum Slushie

A rum slushie is a frozen beverage that combines fruit flavors with spirits, resulting in a semi-frozen, sorbet-like texture. Main ingredients include tropical fruit puree, ice, and rum, blended until smooth and slushy, often topped with fresh fruit or a splash of additional rum for extra flavor.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cup pineapple or mango chunks fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup cup white rum adjust to taste
  • 2 cups cups ice cubes preferably crushed or small
  • 2 tbsp tablespoons simple syrup or honey optional, for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure out your tropical fruit chunks and place them in the blender.
  2. Add the rum and simple syrup to the blender with the fruit.
  3. Top with ice cubes, ensuring the blender is nearly full for a thick, slushy texture.
  4. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for about 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is smooth, cold, and slushy with a vibrant color.
  5. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or more rum, then blend briefly to incorporate.
  6. Pour the icy rum slushie into chilled glasses, watching it settle into a frosty, colorful mound.
  7. Garnish with fresh fruit slices or a sprig of mint for a vibrant finishing touch.

Notes

For a smoother texture, pulse the blender several times instead of running continuously. Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of syrup or honey. Serve immediately for the best slushie consistency.
