About
If you're a fan of the original salty dog, which is a mix of vodka and grapefruit juice served in a salt-rimmed glass, then you definitely need to try this Salty Dog Slush! Perfect for warm, sunny days, this sweet, yet tart sipper is the ideal adult slushy. Swimming with lots of tangy grapefruit juice and some grapefruit-flavored vodka, the Salty Dog Slush will definitely be your frozen treat pick of the summer!
Ingredients
- 1 (64-ounce) bottle Ruby Red grapefruit juice
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more, to taste
- 1/2 cup Ruby Red grapefruit-flavored vodka, such as Deep Eddy®
- Ruby Red grapefruit, to taste, sliced
Directions
Step 1 -Evenly pour the bottle of the grapefruit juice into ice cube trays and freeze until the cubes are solid, for at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
Step 2 -In a small saucepan over high heat, add the sugar, the water, and 3 tablespoons of the salt and bring to a boil.
Step 3 -Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the sugar mixture, stirring constantly, until the sugar and the salt are dissolved.
Step 4 -Transfer the saucepan from the heat and let the salted simple syrup cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Step 5 -In a blender or food processor, add 1/2 of the frozen juice cubes, 1/2 of the vodka, and 1/4 cup of the salted simple syrup and process until it is smooth but still frozen.
Step 6 -Pour the grapefruit mixture into a bowl, then repeat the process with the remaining frozen juice cubes, the remaining vodka, and 1/4 cup of the salted simple syrup. Store any remaining salted simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Step 7 -On a plate, add the extra salt.
Step 8 -Rub the rims of the serving glasses with one of the grapefruit slices, then dip the rims into the salt to coat.
Step 9 -Spoon 1 cup of the slush mixture into each of the prepared glasses.
Step 10 -Serve the drinks garnished with more of the grapefruit slices.
