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!

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.
