Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • ½ cup vodka chilled for better blending
  • ¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons honey for sweetness
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves optional for flavor
  • a handful ice cubes

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Add the vanilla ice cream, chilled vodka, lemon juice, honey, fresh mint leaves, and ice cubes into a high-speed blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and frosty, about 30-40 seconds. You should see the ice break down into tiny, cold particles.
  3. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash more vodka or lemon juice and blend briefly to incorporate.
  4. Pour the icy slurry into chilled glasses, using a spoon or spatula to help scoop out the thick mixture if needed.
  5. Garnish with additional mint leaves or a lemon wedge for presentation, if desired.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or a small spoon, enjoying the cool, boozy, and refreshing texture.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and add more ice and flavorings as desired.
