  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 8 hr 20 min
  • Servings 16

Ingredients

  • 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen rhubarb or 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen sweetened strawberries, slightly thawed
  • 1 1/2 cups vodka
  • 1 can (12 ounces) lemon-lime carbonated beverage
  • 1 bottle (2 liters) lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled
  • Sliced fresh strawberries, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat rhubarb and sugar to boiling in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is very tender. Stir in strawberries.
  • 2
    Spoon half of the strawberry mixture into blender. Cover and blend on high speed until smooth. Pour into large nonmetal container. Cover and blend remaining strawberry mixture; add to container. Stir in vodka and 12-ounce can of carbonated beverage. Freeze at least 8 hours until frozen and slushy.
  • 3
    For each serving, stir together 1/2 cup frozen mixture and 1/2 cup chilled carbonated beverage in tall glass until slushy. Garnish with strawberry slices.

  • This whole recipe can be served as a slushy punch. Spoon the slush mixture into a large punch bowl, then stir in the carbonated beverage. This is handy if you are serving a large number of people all at once.
  • This is a perfect do-ahead recipe because it makes a big batch and can be kept in the freezer for several weeks. Scoop out just the amount you need at one time.
  • Slush beverage recipes rely on the alcohol to keep them from freezing solid. Because they remain slushy in the freezer, portions can be scooped out at a moment's notice.
