Put the mm in your summer with this yummy frozen Strawberry Starburst cocktail!
I “invented” the Frozen Strawberry Starburst a few years ago after a particularly bad day. Everything that could go wrong, did; and then to top it off our A/C stopped working!
I needed something to cool me off and help my brain chill out!
I looked through my liquor cabinet, also known as the freezer, and found the perfect combination.
I purchased ingredients to make a special shooter for a party we were going to have at the end of last year, but we had to cancel.
I added a little vanilla vodka, a little watermelon schnapps, a little lemon sour mix, a handful of ice into the blender and voila! I created a masterpiece!
It tastes EXACTLY like a Strawberry Starburst.
So. Freaking. Good.
The next time I made it I added some fresh strawberries.
MM even better!
My kids kept coming up to me to see what I was drinking.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! You can’t have any!” (said in my best sing-songy voice). (Don’t feel too bad for them… They enjoyed this a kid-friendly version the next day!)
My 15 YO said someone needs to make a candle that smells just like this drink. She kept sniffing the blender. I might need to keep my eye on that one. 😉
I locked myself in my bedroom with my drink and some popcorn, and binge-watched Netflix.
I guess my day didn’t end up too terrible after all.
I hope you enjoy this drink as much as I do!
PS Allergic to Strawberries? No problem! Omit the fruit and it will STILL taste just like a Strawberry Starburst!

Frozen Strawberry Starburst
That sounds really good. A perfect reward.
You have to be careful with alcoholic beverages that look like that! Your kids might think it's a shaved ice!
Haha, yes! I was mixing one up for my photos and my 7 yo said "Oh yum a smoothie!" She wasn't too thrilled when I told her it was for adults only.
That looks the perfect drink for sitting out on the deck on a hot summer day!
It is!! Especially in this heat!
That looks refreshing. I am so looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
That sounds all kinds of awesome. I am adding these to the menu for our 4th of July cookout.
Sounds like the PERFECT summer drink. A little slushy, sweet and with a zing is a perfect combo for an adult drink!
This looks and sounds so delicious. My favorite cocktails are frozen ones like this.
I'm not a drinker at all, but this? LOOKS and SOUNDS amazing. I would probably love this! Yum
Although it doesn't sound like it from all my cocktail posts, lol, I'm not a big drinker myself. But I LOVE to indulge in frozen drinks during the summer. They just hit the spot, you know?
While I am not a drinker myself, I do love to entertain and my company is often thirsty. Strawberry Starburst is my favorite and I can enjoy the smell.
It smells exactly like a Strawberry Starburst. My kids kept saying, "We need to make a candle that smells like that!!"
That sounds delicious and perfect for any summer get together or cookout. I love the slushy look.
Ooh that certainly sounds good to me. I need to pick up some flavored vodka for delicious drinks like these.
This cocktail looks great and the fact that it is frozen would be a perfect way to beat the heat. I have to admit that Watermelon Pucker brings back some crazy teenage memories too!
I know, right? I didn't even know they still sold Pucker! Had a lot of fun with that in my early 20's.
I bet that tastes delicious! Love frozen cocktails.
All moms need a grown up drink from time to time! This looks yummy!
Omg, now that's my kind of drink. I need to try this asap! It would be perfect for the holiday.
That drink looks so refreshing right about now. It is hot and muggy here in Houston today
It definitely looks yummy! I Will have to share with some of my friends that drink alcohol!
Okay, this is genius. I would never have thought to combine these flavors.
It’s so pretty and looks refreshing! I’m looking forward to the kid friendly version. That’s more my speed! 🙂 After a day like that, you needed a break!
Oh my gosh, I am SO making this. The pink starbursts are my favorites, so this drink will make me very happy.
A frozen strawberry drink sounds so delicious and perfect for summer. Cant wait to try this recipe.

Ouh, what a refreshing summer drink! I love starbusts, they are one of my favorite candies so this must be amazing.
I have no doubt that smelled SO good. I would sniff the blender too!
I want this one! This would a nice reward after a long day! Thanks for sharing your story.
I still haven’t seen any of the episodes of Orange is the New Black. That drink looks fantastic!
Orange is the new black really seriously rocked my world. I am about to rebinge from the beginning tonight. Seriously. SO GOOD.
Also, this drink looks as though it was made for me. Time to share it with my friends and settle into an OITNB marathon.
That could have been worse if your neighbor wasn’t nice. Our two kids were off from school already and they drive me insane sometimes too.
I could use one of those drinks right now. Its awesome that you were able to “invent” such a delicious slushie. I have to learn to mix some drinks too! Saving your recipe and making some for me and my husband to enjoy.
You can't beat a good frozen cocktail. The ones made with strawberries may be my favorite! I will have to try this at home.
I don't drink alcohol, but I think this sounds so tasty. Starbursts are one of my favorite candies.
First I love your glass. This looks like a drink that I need to make after work today as soon as I get home, LOL. Thanks for sharing.
It's even the right color for a starburst. Way to go on such a yummy sounding recipe.

OMG you had a day. My Monday served me up a dead truck battery that had to be replaced after leaving me stuck twice. Oh and a $180 replacement battery. I loved starburst growing up and pink and yellow were my favorite. I’m so making this cocktail this weekend.
Oh my goodness how delicious does this sound! It I can imagine it being wonderfully refreshing on a summers day. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Ok seriously? You are awesome, this sounds like a great kid-free weekend drink idea! I will have to give it a try!

We've been on summer break for 2 weeks now, and I sure could use one of these most days lol. Looks amazing!
That’s a pretty awesome drink! Perfect for the summer and for giving yourself a little treat especially when you’re a little stressed. I love that it’s easy to put together as well! Totally making this for myself!
My husband’s absolute favorite flavor in the entire world is strawberry starbursts. This is perfect for him for Father’s Day!
