Sometimes ice-cold cocktails just aren’t enough. To beat the heat this summer, we suggest tapping into the world of adult slushies. And by adult slushies, we mean the coolest (literally and physically) boozy drinks in the form of your favorite childhood treat. The best part? You can basically turn all of your favorite alcoholic beverages — wine included — into slush form. And since they’re blended, you won’t ever have to worry about ice melting and watering down your drink. We’ll raise our glasses to that!
From vodka to tequila and everything in between, these boozy slushies will keep you cool all summer long.
