Everyone knows that today is the day you can hit up the nearest 7-Eleven for a free Slurpee. But because we like to be difficult creative, we are going to be making our own this year. Check out these homemade slurpees, slushies, or frozen concoctions that will cool you down with fun flavors. Plus, some of these recipes are spiked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh for the Strawberry Limeade Slushies?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but you may need to adjust the amount of ice to achieve the desired slushy consistency.
What type of gin should I use for the Frozen Gin Slush?
Any quality gin will work, but a floral or citrus-forward gin can enhance the flavor of the slush.
How can I achieve the layered effect in the Cherry and Campari Slushies?
To create the layered effect, pour the cherry mixture into the glass first, then slowly add the Campari layer over the back of a spoon to keep the two layers separate.
