Slushy Drinks!

Although they contain neither beer nor bourbon, I’m posting a recipe for the most delicious slushy drinks ever. It is 93 degrees in the shade outside after all.

3 oz. vodka
3 oz. chambord
6 oz. cranberry juice
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam

Put everything in the blender and add ice to the top of the liquid. Blend until smooth. Sometimes I have to add a little bit more ice to thicken it up. This makes about four drinks.

Cheers!
