Boozy Cider Slush

I celebrated my birthday earlier this week, so I thought it was only fitting that I share a celebratory drink here on the blog! We’re in the heart of apple season, so naturally I wanted to create a drink that involved apple cider. If you’ve ever had a cider slushie, then you know exactly how delicious the popular fall drink is. If not, go find one ASAP! 

This cocktail is super simple to make and only 3 ingredients! Frozen apple cider, hard cider, and Fireball whiskey bring this slushy fall cocktail to life. It’s perfect for your Halloween party or when cozying up next to a fire. You do have to remember to give yourself time to let the apple cider freeze, but other than that it comes together in just 5 minutes. You will need an ice cube tray and a blender, but that’s it! 

I highly suggest getting fresh pressed cider, rather than the apple cider sold in grocery stores. It’s so much more flavorful and it’s always fun to be able to visit a local cider mill or farmstand this time of year. 

What’s your favorite way to enjoy apple season? 

Ingredients:

• 1 ice cube tray full of apple cider
• ¼ cup fireball whiskey
• 1 12 oz bottle of hard cider

Directions:

1. Pour apple cider into the ice cube tray. Freeze solid, at least 4-6 hours or overnight. 
2. Place all ingredients in blender and blend until slushy. Pour into glasses.

Makes about 4 cups
