Method
Base
- 1
Prepare blender
Add 3 cups of crushed ice (or 3 cups of ice cubes) to a high-speed blender. Using crushed ice yields a smoother, slushier texture; cubes will require a bit more blending.

Add spirits and balanceers
Pour in 3 oz premium vodka (or 3 oz blanco rum for a different profile), 0.75 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice into the blender with the ice.

Add featured flavor
Add 2 oz of the day's house puree or flavored syrup (server will specify flavor). If you want extra complexity, add 0.5 oz complementary liqueur (optional). Ensure the flavor chosen complements the base spirit (e.g., mango with rum, strawberry with vodka).

Blend to slush
Secure the blender lid and pulse on low a few times to break up large ice chunks, then blend on medium-high for 10–20 seconds until you reach a smooth, slushy consistency. Avoid over-blending, which will make the mixture too watery.
Finish & Serve

Taste and adjust
Taste a small spoonful and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed: add 0.25–0.5 oz simple syrup for more sweetness or 0.25 oz lime juice for more brightness. Briefly pulse to incorporate any additions.
