These strikingly colorful, tart, and refreshingly cold drinks, are perfect to beat the heat on any hot summer afternoon. With three delicious combinations to choose from you really can’t go wrong with these. We paired strawberries with three different types of summer fruits: pineapples, raspberries, and watermelon to create three unique and icy cold slushies. These gorgeous pink hued drinks are perfect to serve for a bridal shower, a BBQ, or a summer party. You can even make them ahead and freeze in a freezer safe container. Just make sure you thaw them out in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before serving for that perfect slushie consistency.

And, you might even think about making these alcoholic. The strawberry raspberry would be great paired with a splash of rum while the strawberry watermelon best goes with a watermelon vodka. Try a bit of triple sec with the strawberry pineapple. Or, just simply enjoy alcohol free.

Kickback, relax, and sip away!
