We have to admit, slushies don’t really look amazing in the usual plastic gastro machines with the rotating rollers in them. But homemade from fresh fruit they look completely different and with THE DUKE Gin these slushies really taste mouthwatering. Summer is now finally here, with all the beauty it has to offer. And the only slushy snow we want to see is THE DUKE Gin Slushies in a glas.

1. Mandarin and Orange Slushie

Preparation

Peel the mandarin and the orange, fillet and cut roughly. Then place them in a freezer bag and freeze overnight. Put the frozen fruit together with the ice cubes into a blender and mix until a coarse mass is formed.

Stir the sugar with a tablespoon of hot water until the sugar is dissolved; then add it to the blender together with the gin. Blend until everything reaches an even, fine consistency. Pour into a glass, garnish with the orange slice and serve immediately.

2. Grapefruit and Raspberry Slushie

Preparation

Peel the grapefruit, fillet it and cut it roughly. Then place them in a freezer bag and freeze overnight. Put the frozen pulp together with the frozen raspberries and ice cubes into a blender and mix until a coarse mass is formed.

Stir the sugar with a tablespoon of hot water until the sugar is dissolved; then add it to the blender together with the gin. Blend until everything reaches an even, fine consistency. Pour into a glass, garnish with 1-2 raspberries and serve immediately.

3. Cucumber, Lime and Mint Slushie

preparation

Peel the cucumber and cut it into small pieces. Peel the limes, fillet them (remove the skin) and also cut them roughly. Then put the cucumber pieces in a freezer bag and freeze overnight. Put the frozen ingredients together with the mint and ice cubes in a blender and mix until a coarse mass is formed.

Mix the sugar with a tablespoon of hot water until the sugar has dissolved; then add it to the mixer along with the gin. Mix until everything reaches an even, fine consistency. Pour into a glass, garnish with a slice of cucumber and serve immediately.

Another quick note: Not every blender is suitable for chopping frozen fruit or ice cubes. To avoid ruining your mixer when preparing the gin slushies, take a quick look at the operating instructions.
