Italian Beer Slushy Recipes

Steps:

• Pour the beers into an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Freeze until slushy, whisking every 30 minutes, for about 4 hours. Meanwhile, put the cherries in a small bowl and pour the orange liqueur over. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• For each cocktail, spoon about 1 cup beer slush into a rocks glass. Pour 1 3/4 ounces sweet vermouth, 1 1/2 ounces bourbon and 3 dashes bitters into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, shake and strain over the slush in the glass. Garnish with 2 liqueur-soaked cherries. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the cherries, 2 tablespoons sugar and cherry eau die vie in a bowl and muddle using a muddler or a potato masher, leaving some chunks in the cherries. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the cherries to break down and the juice to flow.
• Whip the cream to super soft peaks with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Add the crushed ice to the cherries and toss well. Divide among 4 small bowls and top with a few tablespoons of the loosely whipped cream. Garnish with mint.

Steps:

• Pour 1 bottle root beer into a standard-sized ice cube tray. Carefully transfer to the freezer until frozen, 3 to 4 hours.
• Whisk cold cream and vanilla in a small bowl until slightly thickened. Cover and place in the refrigerator until needed.
• Transfer root beer ice cubes into a blender. Add 1 1/2 cups cold root beer and blend until a smooth, thick slush forms, stopping and shaking the blender as needed.
• Pour into 2 frozen mugs, leaving about 1 inch of room at the top. Spoon vanilla cream over top and serve.

Steps:

• Blend Campari, lemon juice, orange juice, gin, simple syrup, and 6 cups ice in a blender until smooth. Taste and add more simple syrup, if desired. Divide among 4 rocks glasses and garnish with orange wheels.
