If you saw my video review of my new Zoku Slush and Shake maker you'll know I'm in love. In the hot summer weather nothing is more satisfying than a slushy iced drink. The best thing about the Zoku Shake and Maker is that you have 100% control over what goes your drink.
These recipes are a few of my favourites although I think an all encompassing call to just freeze any liquid you like in it would also suffice here. If it can be drunk, it can be slushied -that's my new motto.
I've been pondering over what to call these drinks. To me a slushie conjures an image of a heavily coloured neon blue Slush Puppie drink from childhood. It's not a snow cone, kakigori or shaved iced. I think granita comes closest to describing this iced drink, it does sound a bit more grown up than slushies. Whatever you decide to call these drinks, here are a few of my favourite recipes.
Caramel Coffee
1 shot espresso
150ml mill
A teaspoon caramel syrup
Lime Blast
1 Shot lime cordial
175ml sparkling water
Pineapple Paradise
200ml of pineapple juice
Yes, it's a simple one but it tastes like summer time and try adding a shot of coconut rum to it.
Refreshing Rose
Remember back when I was getting all excited about rose flavoured everything? Well, I still adore the Fentimans rose lemonade. If you want a no fuss slushie drink pour the rose lemonade straight into the Zoku slush and shake maker straight from the bottle.
If you want some grown up Zoku fun any (or all) of these drinks could take a shot or two of your favourite alcoholic tipple.
