THIS IS NOT A DRILL--Shiner Prickly Pear is BACK! But only in the Texas Heatwave packs. So make sure you scoop them up before they're gone! I also think this recipe would be ah-maze-ing with the Peach beer in that pack :)
Summer creeps up on you in Texas--at least, when you're a Northerner who still can't wrap her head around the fact that there's no snow as the dividing point between COLD and HOT. The winter is so mild, that the temperatures inch upwards and then before you know it, BAM. You're hitting the pool with a cold beverage and trying not to sweat your life away.
Now that Shiner's Ruby Redbird--my favorite beer, hands-down--is year-round, Shiner had to come up with a suitable summer offering. And their Prickly Pear is not to be missed! Light, fruity, but only slightly sweet, it's a great summer sipping beer.
Nope, this is not a sponsored post. I just really love Shiner Prickly Pear and thought it'd lend itself well to a slush!
This is the first recipe I've made with my new Ninja Blender, which I got as a sort-of birthday gift for my husband since his new obsession is protein shakes and our immersion blender just wasn't cutting it. and I think it was a great christening for this amazing machine!
Prickly Pear Slush
- 2 bottles Shiner Prickly Pear
- 1/2 cup Prickly Pear soda -- I used Central Market's version, but if you can't find this any light, cirtusy soda will do
- 1/8 cup triple sec
- 1/8 cup lemon vodka
- Enough ice to fill your blender 2/3 full
-Scoop ice into your blender, enough to fill it about 2/3 full. Pour in the rest of the ingredients, and blend on high power until pulverized. If you can, do not have the top on tightly, and allow a little air to come out so the pressure doesn't build up and explode.
-Pour into glasses and garnish with a lime. Extra points if you have cute boot glasses or faux solo cups!
