I could drink these all day. Which would obviously be bad, so I’ll refrain from that (and I recommend you do too 🙂 ). But, these are such a perfect cocktail for this time of the year! We are big drinkers of sweet tea in this house, so it’s really not many more steps to concoct these tasty boozy treats when it’s 5 o’clock. Orrr…. 1 o’clock. At the cottage. On the beach. Sounds ahhh-mazing, right?
I love slushy drinks in the summer because all that ice is just so refreshing! The tart lemony-ness in these vodka slushies also helps to cut the sharpness of the vodka.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the article � interesting perspective on where to host. I�ve tried the blog subdomain and /blog approach and have to say that, at first blush, moving to the sub-domain approach from /blog resulted in a drop in organic traffic but with the (not set) chaos thanks to Google it�s a little trickier to pinpoint these days!
This drink looks very refreshing! Can’t wait to try it this summer! Thank you!
