Frozen Hurricane Slush

Last weekend was our first trip, this year, to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln to see our beloved Huskers play football.  My oldest son is a student there, so I was DOUBLE excited about it, which meant I got to see him! (Insert giant Mom Smiles here)  We were playing, after many years, The Miami Hurricanes.  This was a BIG GAME.  We took my niece and her husband along to the game, and I made a huge batch of Little King Salad (you may think SALAD sounds weird for a football game? This is like a GIANT Hoagie in a bowl) we had tons of snacks and set our tail gate up out of the back of our Tahoe.  I knew that I needed to come up with some sort of a signature cocktail.  So, I put my brain to work.  We love making Frozen Vodka Slushes – and a couple of years ago for a tail gate that happened over Halloween, I made REDRUM REDRUM {frozen red rum punch.}

Our tailgates can be REALLY cold here in Nebraska, and we have been known to wear MANY layers of clothing while still ingesting frozen concoctions.  I thought these were a fun play on words.  Everyone knows it’s rather balmy in Miami… Freeze out the Hurricanes? Yep, we can do that here in Husker Nation.  Well, turns out the weather was perfect for these drinks last weekend, as we weren’t freezing at all… Melting was more like it.

My daughter, Kenzie, is equally glad to go to Lincoln, her boyfriend, Austin is also a student there

I can’t say that this is the prettiest of recipe photos that I have ever taken, but it’s sort of hard to photograph a frozen drink scooped from a cooler and put in a red solo cup! 😉  So, trust me on this when I say that this drink was super good, and there wasn’t a drop left.
