Patriotic Drinks for the 4th of July | Texas Type A Mom. Girls Night Necessity: Peach Vodka Slushies. Hot weather begs for refreshing summertime drinks (ok, and maybe some sexy pool boys)! My absolute favorite frozen cocktail to serve at girls night is this peach vodka slushie. This recipe, passed down from my mother, revised a bit through the years, has been a total crowd pleaser for as long as I can remember. What you will need: 2 cups vodka (be generous, more like 2 -1/2 cups)12 ounces frozen concentrated orange juice12 ounces frozen concentrated lemonade2 cups pureed peach (about 2-3 overripe peaches)2 cups brewed tea (strong)7 cups boiling water2 cups sugar How To: Puree overripe peaches in blenderDissolve the sugar in the boiling water.Brew tea (or you can just buy pre-brewed tea)Add all ingredients into large container.

Add all ingredients into large container (lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrate, tea, sugar water, peach puree, vodka) Mix and freeze. To serve, scrape frozen concoction into a fancy girly glass and serve granita style. How about you?

I cannot get enough. It seems every weekend I’m pouring some wine, whatever liqueur I have on hand, and some fruit together in a pitcher, either to share with friends or enjoy with my husband. A glass of chilled sangria out on our deck in the evening is my new favorite thing. I have to give some credit to Tina of My Life as a Mrs. whose sangria recipe essentially started this whole thing. I love a traditional red wine sangria, but I’ve found that white wine works just as well. With sangria on my mind so much recently, it was only a matter of time before I thought to turn it into a frozen dessert.

I created this recipe with the hope that it really would be a scoop-able form of the beverage, and before being poured into my ice cream machine, I gladly would have drank it up.
