Ingredients

Lime Syrup:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • 1 cup water

Limeade:

  • 2 cups drinking water
  • Zest of ½ lime
  • ½ cup plus 1½ tablespoons lime juice (5 – 6 limes)
  • ¾ cup lime syrup

Limeade Slushie:

  • 18 limeade ice cubes
  • ounces gold rum

Blueberry Slushie:

  • ¾ frozen blueberries
  • 6 limeade ice cubes
  • 7 tablespoons cold drinking water

Garnish (optional):

  • 1 lime (cut into wedges)
  • Blueberries (freeze for 1 hour)

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and lime zest. Set aside for 10 minutes. Add water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to melt the sugar. Pour the syrup through a sieve into a glass measuring cup. Set aside to cool. Discard the zest. Measure out ¾ cup for the limeade. Save the rest for other uses.
  • In a medium pitcher, combine the ingredients for limeade. Taste and adjust if needed. Pour the limeade into 2 ice cube trays. Freeze for at least 6 hours.
  • In a blender, add 18 limeade ice cubes and gold rum. Blend well and pour into 3 serving glasses. Keep the glasses in the freezer.
  • Add the frozen blueberries, 6 limeade ice cubes, and drinking water into the same blender. Blend until smooth, stirring occasionally if needed. Pour into the glasses. Garnish with lime wedges and blueberries if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. If you want, you can skip the alcohol and replace with a little water.
  2. You don’t have to make the slushie all at once. The limeade ice cubes can be kept in a freezer for a while. Just transfer them into a freezer bag.
  3. The limeade slushie taste just as good after it melts.
  4. For 1 serving, use 6 limeade cubes & 1½ ounces gold rum for the limeade part. Use 2 limeade cubes, ¼ cup frozen blueberries, & 1/8 cup cold drinking water.
