There are times that call for a glass of Chardonnay or a martini and then there are times when playful drinks like this transport you from your kitchen or patio to a place where a warm breeze blows, and you can hear the ocean in the background. This drink is deliciously tart from the blue raspberry lemonade vodka and simultaneously cooling because of the slushy, icy texture. I like to make dehydrated fruit rims to enhance the raspberry flavor of this drink. You can get the dehydrated fruit in small amounts online and it’s a game changer for drinks (or even for cake and cookie decorations or added to salad).
