Summer just got better with this frozen gin and tonic slush. In the heat of the summer this slush is a refreshing way to cool down and relax.
Last summer I tried wine slushies for the first time. What a great frozen treat! After that I noticed them everywhere. That got me thinking… what other adult drinks could be made into frozen treats.
Enter the frozen gin and tonic! I love a gin and tonic. So simple, and so delicious in frozen form.
After trying it a few different ways I came up with the perfect slush. In this case, having to make it multiple times was a bonus! Gin and tonic at 10 am anyone?
How to Make a Frozen Gin & Tonic Slush
I am partial to Hendrick’s Gin but this recipe was made with a gin from Washington state called Dry Fly. I love to take suggestions from the sales people at the liquor store and this time it really paid off. This is a great gin.

This recipe calls for fresh squeezed lime juice but if you like a bit of sweet then Rose’s sweetened lime juice is a great substitute.
To get the perfect slush thickness I found it worked best to put all of the ingredients in a freezer bag and put it in the freezer over night. Be sure to leave a corner of the bag unsealed to let the gas from the tonic water out.
When you are ready just dump the contents into the blender and blend until smooth.
