If you're looking to impress your guests at Fourth of July celebrations and weekend BBQs, look no further. We've got you covered with this simple slush recipe. Just be sure to keep it away from the young ones because it packs a punch! Non-alcoholic versions of this could made -- but let's not go there.

You'll need: fresh berries (we chose strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries) coconut flavored vodka individual containers (we used half pint mason jars)

1. Blend berries on lowest setting until smooth 2. Slowly stir in Vodka 3. Pour into individual cups 4. Freeze. It's very important to get the alcohol volume just right so you end up with the right consistency. For every 2 cups of blended berries, add 1/3 cup vodka.

You can get creative with fruit options, but a flavored vodka will work best. This icy treat is delicious, no fuss, and is sure to be the highlight of your next shindig. Cheers!
