Summer Slush

5.27.2009

I picked up this "frozen cosmopolitan in a bucket" at TJ Maxx for $4.99. For that price, I figured I didn't have much to lose.

Added a 750mL bottle of vodka and water. Froze over night.

It's delicious! Fruity but not too sweet. I added some Diet 7-Up and a twist of lime.

Perfect for the warm weather ahead!
