Wow, I have been on a roller coaster of busy lately! Between travelling the east coast for lacrosse and some health issues for my folks, not a lot of time for me to write and create. I am hoping to be back on track now! I have a few yummy creations for the next few weeks! A great way to get back on track is with my new favorite day, Free Friday! If you recall, I had made Skinny Pineapple Mango Frozen Margaritas with Chili Salt Rim to kick off Free Friday! I am seeing the theme on drinks with alcohol, unintentional, but I may need one after these last few weeks. Today I bring to you the most delicious and refreshing Strawberry Vodka Slush Cocktail! I have also included instructions for a mock-tail.
I’m not sure how it evolved, but I have become the family mixologist! Whether it’s a drink with alcohol or a mock-tail, I really enjoy creating drinks for my family and friends! I do try to stay away from ready made mixes, due to the processing and ingredients I can not pronounce, let alone know why they are in the mix! This is why I love adding blended fruit into my drinks! Refreshing and they keep the fat and calories down! Right now, we have strawberries at the farmers market at ridiculously low prices. So I buy up the strawberries and freeze them.
I hope you enjoy this most refreshing cocktail! Strawberry Vodka Slush Cocktail is super easy to make, low-fat,low-calorie and always a hit with family and friends! I think it is a perfect night to make these and sit by the ocean with the hubs!
Everyday Eileen tip:
To freeze strawberries and other fruits:
- place the fruit, be sure they are not touching, on a cookie sheet in the freezer for about one hour.
- transfer to labeled freezer bags including the date. I usually freeze 1 cup per bag.
- puree some of the fruit and placing them in ice-cube trays also is a great way to store fruit. I usually do 2 teaspoons per cube. These are great to add to smoothies and other fruit based bread and pie recipes.
I hope you enjoy this most refreshing cocktail that is super easy to make and low-fat, low-calories and always a hit at parties! Myself, I just love this on a Friday afternoon sitting by the ocean!

Strawberry Vodka Slush Cocktail
A refreshing adult slush made with lots of flavor from fresh strawberries. Add in vodka and triple sec to have an adult cocktail that is low in fat and calories. I have included instructions for a mock-tail which is perfect for those who do not prefer alcohol and great for kids because it is all natural.
Ingredients
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled frozen
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 1/4 cup triple sec
- 3 Tablespoons Simple Syrup
- lemon soda or club soda optional
- fresh strawberries and mint leaves optional garnish
Instructions
-
Add into a blender, frozen strawberries, ice cubes, vodka, and triple sec. Blend well. Optional to add a lemon soda or club soda to the strawberry slush. Sip to step 3.
-
If a mock-tail is preferred, leave out the vodka and the triple sec. Add in another 1/2 cup of strawberries and 1/4 cup of ice. Also add 1/2 cup of lemonade, lime-aid, or pineapple juice. Blend well.
-
Serve in chilled glasses with a mint leave and a strawberry for garnish
Recipe Notes
- Any nutritional data I provide is an approximation and actual dietary information can vary based on ingredients and portion sizes.
- I used my Simple Syrup recipe and added 2 mint stalks to the syrup once the sugar melted. Discarded the mint leaves after 1/2 hour.
- You can just use simple syrup, I prefer the added mint flavor
Wow, this was awesome! Made these to cheer us up and think of summer! These are great!
I am so happy you and your family enjoyed. I know sometimes the winter weather needs a little summer time happiness and this delivers!
That drink looks so good and I’m sure that it’s so yummy. Thanks for sharing your Strawberry Vodka Slush Cocktail recipe and tips.
You are very welcome Angela! hope you enjoy!
I don’t even like vodka, but this looks delicious. I haven’t had an adult beverage since last year. I need to get out of the house lol.
The beauty of this recipe is that you can have a mock-tail too! I hope you get a Me day soon Missy!
The mint I planted years ago is overtaking my garden. This might be a good use for it!
Yes, perfect for using mint! You can also use it to make a watermelon slushy! I can’t have enough mint
What a beautiful cocktail. You timed the posting of the recipe at just the right time. There are plenty of strawberries at the stores — I’m putting that fruit on my grocery list. Can’t wait to make this.
Aw, Thank you Marisa! I hope you enjoy! I loved your Buffalo Cauliflower, I hope you enjoy this as much as I loved your recipe!
These look so yummm and I would literally drink most of it 😉 I love vodka based cocktail as they are so easy on palette and the addition of club soda would definitely make this extra bubbly n fun 🙂
This has become my favorite poolside drink! I really love the strawberry flavor. The cub soda adds great fizz!
This sounds good – I would like to make it a virgin – I bet it would be good too, I like to freeze my strawberries as well.
The virgin is just as good! I have instructions for that because I add more strawberries and a bit more ice. I hope you enjoy!
This is seriously a fantastic drink, and I don’t usually drink alcohol, but would gladly give this a go. You had me at strawberry! Any party would be a smashing success with a few of these beauties!
Thank you Daniela! It has become my families most requested drink this summer!
Wow, this looks really delicious. I cannot wait to try making this tonight.

This sounds so delicious and refreshing! Perfect summer cocktail. And I agree I don’t like mixers either and prefer to make my own. Love how colorful this is as well.

Vodka is by far my favorite alcohol and strawberries are to die for! I can’t wait until this baby gets here so I can try this out!
I hope you enjoy! Let me know when you make this one!
This looks really good! It reminds me of a drink I had at a Mexican Cantina before. I bet its chock full of flavor.

Oh I am SO thirsty now!! This looks just gorgeously refreshing, perfect for this season x

Perfect for entertaining outside. Great for the BBQ season and hot summer weather. Delicious way to use the fresh berries that are just coming into season.

Vodka is my favorite drink, and strawberries are perfect for summer. Your Strawberry Vodka Slush Cocktail sounds absolutely delicious!
Thank you Heather! One of my favorites!
Mayyyybe your cocktail theme on Free Friday is unintentional… but obviously you’ve got something subliminal going on there… 😉 Vodka is my liquor of choice when mixing drinks, and this strawberry slush looks and sounds perfect!
Lol, you got me, maybe it is unintentionally intentional!
This sounds so delicious! I have a bottle of vodka sitting here I need to open. This would be perfect for me!
Wish I lived closer, we could have cocktails together :)!
Ohh those strawberries look so yummy. This drink is perfect for this hot day.
