typical summer evening temp inside my apartment.

I invited @pyrcedgrrl to come along with me to visit family across the state (Esopus & Manhattan). As we were leaving early in the morning, she came and stayed the night before. It was a hot evening and I thought it to be the perfect opportunity to make an Mojito Slushy and get packing for the trip.

Slightly altered but essentially the same, In blender: Lime, Rum, Ice, Peppermint Syrup (for sweetness and extra mint taste) topped with club soda and mint sprigs.

So Yummy!

mmmmm it worked for the Mojito, what else can I make a shlushy out of. Peering into my fridge, my eyes land on some recently purchased beer. Laughing, I figure, 'why not?' And so I try experimenting in creating a "Guinness Slushy"

Fresh cold bottle of Guinness Extra Stout

    you made it with ice? i wonder if one could make a guinness milkshake using vanilla ice cream? ooooh, or a car bomb milkshake....

    oh yes, it was crushed ice and Guinness. A milkshake could work as long as it doesn't separate too much-- worth a try! :)

    Timika took my idea of the milkshake. It would also be possible to maybe add Harp and make a black and Tan Milk shake.

    Lovely mint garnish.

    I'm really surprised the carbonation in the Guinness didn't cause a blender explosion. Must be its viscosity.
