Adult slushie recipe for a summer crowd from Our Southern Home #cocktail #alcoholicslushie #adultslushie

School is out and it is summer! Our family loves to spend time at the family beach cottage that we share with my husband's sisters. We always host a 4th of July party! This Adult Slushie has been made by my sister-in-law for as long as I have been a member of the family…almost 25 years…I'm sure even before that!

This week I am sharing 4th of July inspiration with some of my blogging friends!

Patriotic tour of ideas to celebrate the 4th of July!

Below you will find the schedule and all of the wonderful projects! This is one creative group!

You may ask….why share this slushie? It is the one thing all the adults expect at our party and all summer at the beach! The kids expect ice cream and fun games….we expect the slushie! The recipe is so easy!!! You will need a large plastic container that can go in the freezer. I've had mine for many years. It's by Rubbermaid and is called a #8 Servin' Saver. I just looked it up online and kind of laughing. Mine is listed as 1980s vintage! Lol!!! It says a #8 is 33 cups. 

Here is the recipe!

Ingredients
  1. 2 - 2 liters of Mountain Dew or Diet Mountain Dew
  2. 12 ounce can of frozen lemonade
  3. 12 ounce can frozen orange juice
  4. 12 ounce can of frozen pineapple juice
  5. 2 cups of gin
  6. 2 cups of vodka

Notes
  1. During the freezing process, I like to occasionally stir to keep the alcohol distributed.
  2. It will not completely freeze due to the alcohol.
  3. Scoop out with large spoon or ice cream scoop into desired size serving cups.
  4. May need to eat with a spoon at first.

I normally do not drink or buy soft drinks, but this is the exception!

This was the slushie frozen just over night. I pulled it out to photograph for this post. We did have friends over for a cook-out that night and served it. It was more frozen at that time being the 24 hour mark.

This is such a part of our 4th of July tradition!

My sister-in-law is the big planner of the annual party! It is her baby! Everyone is well entertained! Here are a few photos from the last couple of years!

Our party starts with the viewing or participating in the neighborhood 4th of July parade! It's fun and silly! Everyone decorates their bikes, strollers, golf carts…whatever! The organizer/starting point had all the participants gather for a before parade shot! Fun idea! (not our house!)

The night ends with fireworks watching on the back upper deck. Southport, NC does a huge show. We are able to sit at home and have a front and center view!

Most importantly, it's about spending a wonderful afternoon and evening with family and friends!

Hopefully, you haven't been too bored with the family/friend pics. 

I hope you are inspired to plan your own 4th celebration. Maybe add the adult slushie recipe and a few of the activities mentioned to your already planned gathering! 

I'll be sharing another 4th favorite very soon…..Chocolate Oreo Ice cream!

    Christy, I am sure this is going to become a permanent part of our 4th of July celebration. I can’t wait to try it. I’m just afraid that, in the heat, I’ll be constantly slurping one of those, and if I do, I might completely miss the fireworks! thanks for the recipe. Your celebration looks like so much fun! How wonderful to have a place where you can celebrate the 4th with family at the beach. Your children are so good looking. laurie

    I can see why there might be no other place you’d want to be on the 4th, than with your family at the beach. You all look like you are having so much fun. The Adult Slushies must keep you all refreshed during the heat. I printed out a copy, as I know my family will love this recipe, too. I’m looking forward to trying it out this summer ~ Amy

    Your slushie looks so refreshing! I think this is something that could be available in the freezer all summer. 🙂 I never tire of looking at photos, especially of fun gatherings. You have a primo view of the fireworks~ love that! I did where I used to live…will have to see what this holiday brings here.

    I can’t wait to try your adult slushie recipe! I’m going to the beach on Saturday and would love to enjoy this with my mom, aunt, and cousin.

    Your 4th of July in Southport looks like so much fun! Being able to watch fireworks from your cottage is so nice. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen any.

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
