141 cals · 16 servs

Ingredients:

2 12-ounces cans Limeade (from Concentrate, thawed)
2 12-ounces cans Lemonade (from Concentrate, thawed, don’t use pink lemonade, use the yellow lemonade)
48 ounces Cold Water
25 ounces Vodka
4 ounces Blue Curacao
4 ounces Grenadine

Directions:

Start by allowing the frozen lemonade from concentrate to defrost so it’s more liquid than ice for easy mixing.
Use a large bowl or pitcher to mix the frozen lemonade from concentrate, water and vodka.

Pour mixed ingredients into a metal pan, plastic container or a plastic bucket with a lid.

Place into the fridge and allow to freeze for 12 hours, then stir the ice crystals.

Allow to chill an additional 12 hours and stir again.

Once they have been frozen for 24 hours, you can add blue curacao for the blue layer and grenadine for the red layer.
The white layer is the plain lemonade/limeade.

Chill the freshly colored layers for at least an hour so the layers don’t bleed into each other.

Spoon in the layers blue first, then white then red. I usually add a little extra of the noncolored frozen slush to allow for the heavier grenadine colored red to not dissolve into the white layer.

Pro tip:

I usually freeze my glasses if I have room in my freezer. It keeps the slushes from melting right away!
