Freezer Door Cocktail Tips

It’s important to know some good ways for making a great tasting freezer cocktail.  Remember, a freezer cocktail should remain cold otherwise you will have a liquid drink and not a slushie drink.

The key to making the perfect freezer door cocktail is the perfect slushie recipe.  If you have never tried a frozen cocktail, the key is maintaining a slushie mixture the whole time you are drinking it. 

Ensuring the perfect chilled state of the mix requires thought and preparation.  Each cocktail recipe requires a balance to maintain the proper freezing point with different liquors.  

The alcohol content needs to be just right. Not enough alcohol will result in a freezing solid slushy mixture.

Too much alcohol will result in the slushy mixture not freezing up. The addition of sweeteners or liquids like juice increases the difficulty at which it freezes. 

No ice is needed! Whip together a larger batch to store in your home freezers for hosting friends.

Use cold soda to help maintain the slushy mixture when making the cocktail.

These slushy cocktails go well with everything!!! Make a sheet pan of nachos or these cream cheese stuffed peppers for a quick snack. My smoked salmon pizza and smoked whole chicken also pair great with any of these cocktails!
