These gorgeous Boozy Strawberry Watermelon Slushies are a delicious way to beat the heat. Quench your thirst in style this summer!

I’m here with another fun recipe for my partners this summer, Sparkling Ice. We’ve teamed up to bring you fun, bold recipes for the summer season.
Summer is all about refreshing drinks if you ask me. I love making summer sips to quench my thirst during the heat. Recently I made some great Cherry Limeade Ice Cream Floats.
My plan for this post was to share our trip to Toronto with you. I wanted to include you in our road trip by sharing photos with you. Let’s just say “best laid plans”. Life just never works out the way you plan.
We drove up to the city to help our son and his girlfriend move into their new place. We haven’t seen them since Christmas so we were so excited to see their faces Having our son move closer to home again was just the best feeling in the world.
Spending time with the kids was absolutely amazing. We had so much fun and got some quality time together, which everything when your kids get older. You realize how important those moments are.
Well, I had a bit of an incident. Or better yet, an accident. You can read more about it another post, but long story short I got hurt. If you are new to my blog you should know I’m seriously accident prone.
I took a nasty spill in a parking lot and came away with some bone bruises and a couple of broken toes. My wrist and both of my feet took a serious blow. So instead of having adventures I’m laid up resting my body.
Sounds fun, right? It’s not. Luckily I have Netflix and Boozy Strawberry Watermelon Slushies. So thanks to my pals over at Sparkling Ice, I’m all set for a few days/weeks of rest to let my body heal.
They sent me enough Sparkling Ice that I’m all set for my time off. I have mountains of their Strawberry Watermelon, as well as tons of their Cherry Limeade, Pink Grapefruit, Black Raspberry, and Black Cherry.
I can sip to my hearts content while I watch Netflix, and maybe rent some movies. I’ll be all healed up in time for my next post. I’ll be bringing you along with us to Point Pelee. It’s our favourite park in the world.
In the meantime let’s all sip some Boozy Strawberry Watermelon Slushies. If you’re not into boozy slushies just leave the vodka out of the recipe when you make it. If you like them more boozy then add more vodka. Easy as pie!
Okay, now I want pie with my slushie. Anyone want to bake me a pie?
