Citrus flavored, large batch, frozen vodka slush – easy to make and delicious to sip in the summertime or anytime! Keep a container in your freezer for when you want to feel like you are somewhere tropical!
Years and years ago a friend made these for a summertime party, and they were SO DARN GOOD, we make them every summer, at least once! They are nice to just have in the freezer for anytime you just want to have a cool relaxing summer cocktail. Beware though….they can sneak up on you!
Update July 1, 2019:
This is actually a recipe re-do if you followed this old picture here, from somewhere, I originally posted these Vodka Slushes in June of 2011.
Here is a photo of Jill, our friend Rhonda and I at a Husker game a couple of years ago.
Ingredients in Frozen Vodka Slush:
- Frozen orange juice
- Frozen Lemonade
- Sugar
- Water
- Vodka
- Lemon Lime soda for serving
^Love them? Pin them for Later!^
Of course, they are perfect just the way they are. Stick an umbrella in, lay back and relax.
The new pictures I took of these frozen vodka cocktails is better than the original, but I wish Mother Nature would have cooperated and gave me a little blue sky back there! Oh well, they still tasted amazing – sun out or not!
Other Frozen Slush Cocktails:
Let’s get to the recipe, so you can get a bucket of these frozen vodka slush cocktails in your freezer! They would be perfect for the 4th of July!
Frozen Vodka Slush
Citrus flavored, large batch, frozen vodka slush - easy to make and delicious to sip in the summertime or anytime! Keep a container in your freezer for anytime you want to feel like you are somewhere tropical!
Ingredients
- 2 Large Cans of Frozen Orange Juice
- 2 Small Cans of Frozen Lemonade
- 1/2 Cup of Sugar
- 6 Large Cans of Water
- 1 1/2-2 Cups of Vodka ("of course I use a little more ?" Jill says…)
Instructions
Combine ingredients in a freezable container with a lid.
Place in freezer for one day.
Scoop into a glass and pour 7Up over the top to serve.
Notes
We always use an ice cream container. Works perfect for freezing. Just a warning, the more Vodka, the less likely it will freeze as solid.
I have also used ginger ale and lime La Croix to serve.

blossom says
this recipe is rather vague – does the juice and lemonade need to be pre-frozen?
can you please advise how many mls of lemonade, juice and water is needed?
thanks

Frozen concentrate juice only comes in two sizes, there is a small can and a big can. Defrost it some, it’s easy to mix it all together once you add the water and the vodka. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Diane Love says
Can you make this without the extra sugar added?
Michaela Kenkel says
I don’t see why not? You can use diet 7up, too!
Kathy and Don Kirsch says
Hi How do I know how many it serves I have 12 people coming over ?
Michaela Kenkel says
Hi, Kathy! It makes a bucket! I am not sure how many you are planning for each to have, but if it’s one a piece, you will be fine, no problem!
Pam S says
Do you think it would work to sub limoncello for half of the alcohol? I have about 3/4 cup left in a bottle I’d like to use up, lol.
Michaela Kenkel says
Ooooo YUM!! I think that is brilliant!
Melissa says
The six cans of water would be whatmeasurment
Michaela Kenkel says
You use the can from the frozen juice concentrate.
