PINEAPPLE RUM SLUSH

 

PINEAPPLE RUM SLUSH

This pineapple rum slush is the perfect quick cocktail for a crowd, or for a nice refreshing drink after winding down from a hot summer day.

Pineapple Rum Slush. One of our favorite summertime slushies! Alcoholic slushies are the hottest – or should I say coolest – cocktail trend right now. Alcoholic slushies create a cool and relaxed environment for hanging out and enjoying a beautiful sunny day. 

You can customize this cocktail however you want, but I kept it simple and straight-forward for a tropical vibe and smooth drinking. It’s similar to this Pina Colada recipe, but with a few changes.

To make your own twist on a rum slush, think of it like you’re building a smoothie. Take your base fruits and veg for the majority of the flavor, ensure at least some of it is frozen, and add enough liquid (alcoholic and not) to get a smooth puree.

Some people like to use ice in these, but I prefer to get that slush texture from using frozen fruits. It will stay smooth and frozen longer, have a better taste and is more refreshing as a result.

What’s especially awesome about this recipe is that you can make it either right before serving or make it in advance. To make it in advance, just pour the finished smoothie mixture into a gallon ziplock bag and place in the freezer. You can either blend it up again or let it melt a bit and serve with a spoon or ladle!
