Seaside Lemonade-Blueberry Slushie image

I am creating this adult slushie for the Seaside Brasserie - Create your own Lemonade Challenge. Please note the vodka in this recipe is optional. You can control the flavor of this lemonade slushie easily; if you like an intense flavor add more of the syrup, if you like a subtle flavor add less syrup. I hope you will enjoy. If you have any leftover syrup you can add it to a cocktail or serve it with ice, club soda and fruit.

LEMON - BLUEBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP
1/2 cup(s) vanilla sugar
1/2 cup(s) water + 1/2 vanilla bean, (use seeds only)
1/3 cup(s) meyer lemon, fresh squeezed
1 cup(s) wild blueberries, fresh or frozen

Steps:

  • Simple Fruit Syrup We will start with the flavored simple syrup. In a medium pan add: sugar, water and lemon juice, stir and place on stove top over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Next stir in the blueberries and bring to a boil. Once they start to boil turn down the heat and simmer for 3 - 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
  • Remove the fruit mixture from stove and strain. Add the vanilla seeds, stir well, then set aside to cool until needed.
  • Now that the syrup is cooled we can get on with it. In a blender add the lemonade soda, and vodka (if using).
  • Next, add the ice and puree until smooth and at a thickness you like.
  • Pour the frozen lemonade soda mixture into your glasses.
  • Then add as much syrup as you want to the top of your frozen lemonade and with a spoon, swirl it into your drink. Top with more syrup and garnish with thin lemon slices and a few fresh blueberries. You will want a straw and a spoon to enjoy this treat.
