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.
