Triple Lemon Slushie Thingie
Blender or Magic Bullet works best. No scientific method here, much to everyone's annoyance.
1 lemon, zested & reamed for juice; save half the juice for next drink, hah! Save a small slice or two to use as wetting agent for powdered sugar. No, you may not substitute the lemon!
1 shot Absolut Citron
1/2 shot Limoncello. Drink another half-shot while you're at it, it's good stuff.
a couple leaves of fresh mint, or a handful-- do what you want
1 small basil leaf, or experiment with more/none
A couple tablespoons of heated honey, to taste. It will run like maple syrup.
Filtered water, or at least so it doesn't taste like feet or chlorine. If you're feeling uppity, substitute GOOD quality lemonade or limeade
Ice cubes
powdered sugar for rim
strawberry/lemon slice/lime slice/mint leaves for garnish
Wet & powder rim of glass (I use margarita & martini glasses)
In blending device, add honey to lemon juice & half the zest; mix well. Add booze. Add 1 cup of ice, or thereabouts. Add enough water/other liquid to fill between 1/2 or 3/4 of the way. We're trying to make slush. Fling in herbs. Do a little dance. Blend ingredients until it doesn't have major chunks & is smooth. If it's too liquidy, add more ice. Taste briefly, adjust if necessary. I admit it, I usually toss in another shot of something. Cointreau/triple sec is delicious.
Drink me! Nice and refreshing. Not work safe.
