In the world of summertime cocktails, you’d be hard pressed to find one that LOOKS more like sunshine than this beautiful Frozen Pineapple Mango Vodka Slush.

Made with fresh pineapple and mango, this drink hits ALL the marks for summertime!

Pineapple and Mango Slush Recipe

Fresh Fruit makes this Pineapple Mango Slushie a Hit

While this cocktail requires a little work to prepare your ingredients ahead of time, it is well worth it.

It’s so smooth too. It’s almost like a pineapple mango vodka smoothie.

This is an amazing drink to serve at a backyard luau-style party, cookout, or pool party.

It even looks best with one of those little cocktail umbrellas and a nice chunk of pineapple.

What I love most, though, is how bright and cheerful it is.

Between the pineapple and mango, this pineapple vodka smoothie is so brightly yellow, it is practically neon.

That, and it’s so refreshing, you’ll forget about the vodka in it.

You can even use a flavored vodka too if you’d like.

This recipe makes a great Svedka Mango Pineapple drink.

And if you have kids around, you can easily leave the vodka out without missing any of the wonderful flavors.

After all, doesn’t everyone deserve to get a nice taste of sunshine?

Frozen Pineapple Mango Vodka Smoothie

Fresh ingredients really make this drink taste extra tropical.

But if pineapples and mangos are not in season or if you don’t have access to fresh ones, you can use frozen.

It will taste great.

The consistency will be a bit thicker, kind of like a shake or smoothie.

But it will be nice and cold.

SO NICE AND COLD!

Ingredients you need to make the Frozen Pineapple Mango Vodka Slush

For simple syrup:

Note: While you can certainly use a commercially prepared simple syrup in this recipe, it’s so easy to make, why not make some fresh.

And make some extra in case you want to make these again.

For the slush:

• 1 ¼ C. fresh chopped Pineapple
• 1 C. fresh chopped Mango
• 3-4 oz Vodka – we used Svedka vodka, but you may use your favorite
• 1 C. Ice

if you’d like, you may use a flavored vodka in the recipe.

We have enjoyed using Svedka Mango Pineapple Vodka in this recipe too.

It ups the tropical flavor a bit.

To make the slush, you will need these kitchen tools:

• Sauce Pan (or Electric Kettle)
• Measuring Cup
• Spoon
• Cutting Board
• Knife
• Blender
• Beverage Glasses

I use a Ninja Blender and have this set that is great for the kitchen as it combines a blender with a food processor.

And you can make individual drinks and smoothies with it too!

Make it a non-alcoholic Pineapple Mango Smoothie instead

Without the alcohol, the drink is kind of like enjoying a mango pineapple smoothie.

You can enjoy the pineapple mango slushie without the vodka. Simply omit the vodka.

If you feel you need a bit of liquid to get your preferred texture, add some pineapple juice to the blender a little bit at a time.

How to make the Frozen Pineapple Mango Vodka Slush

Directions for simple syrup:

Put water and sugar into a small pot.

Cook on medium until it comes to a boil.

Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Set aside to cool.

To make the drink:

In a blender (I used a Ninja) add mango, pineapple, and simple syrup and blend until smooth.

Add vodka and ice and blend for a few seconds until combined.

Pour into glass and enjoy!

Pro Tip: To speed up the process of making your simple syrup, boil your water in an electric kettle if you have one.

Then add the boiling water to a bowl to mix with the sugar and the sugar will rapidly dissolve.

While the water is heating, you can chop your fresh fruit.

The best holiday wassail bowl punch has a long history, steeped in tradition. 

Did you know that “wassail” got its name from a traditional Old Norse greeting?

A Traditional Wassail Recipe

Literally meaning “good health,” the word ‘wassail’ has evolved over the course of a millennium to its present form.

It has gone from a simple greeting, to a toast.

The toast involves a drink made from various fruits and juices and, usually, ale or dark beer or brandy.

It often contained floating rings of oranges and lemons, which would have filled it with Vitamin C.

Undoubtedly an advantageous thing to drink in the days of yore, when scurvy was rampant.

The History of Wassail Bowl Punch

Wassail was such a popular beverage in ancient England, that it even appears in its literature as early as the eighth-century poem, Beowulf.

It has had numerous carols and songs written in its honor, such as “Here We Come A-Wassailing”.

Although, not originally English, wassail and its familiar toast, was so popular and steeped in English lore, that it was considered by the eleventh-century conquering Normans to be native to England and its people.

Wassail is where the concept of giving a toast comes from

The wassail bowl itself dates to the thirteenth century, when it was used to dip bread and cakes into.

Floating pieces of crisp bread on the surface of the wassail bowl is the origin of our modern-day version of the phrase ‘giving a toast’ or ‘toasting’.

These bowls were made of the finest materials available in order to withstand heavy use.

Wassail Bowl Punch tastes and smells so good

Wassail is a traditional holiday drink, but is delicious all winter long.

A delicious stand-by in many homes over the years, it is a great alternative to alcoholic beverages to warm up those cold, blustery months.

Made on the stove top, or, in a slow-cooker (such as a Crock-Pot).

It is not only fast and easy, but stays warm and delicious for hours.

In fact, the longer it simmers, the more the flavors blend together and create a spicy, citrus delight!

Wassail is a delicious holiday drink.

It’s a great alternative to alcoholic beverages and is perfect to help you warm up when it’s cold outside. 

Ingredients you need to make Wassail Bowl Punch:

• 2 quarts sweet apple cider
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1 cup lemon juice
• 1 large can pineapple juice
• 2 oranges, sliced into rings
• 2 lemons, sliced into rings
• 1 whole cinnamon stick
• 12 whole cloves
• honey to taste

Note: You may substitute sugar for honey if you prefer.

It’s okay to substitute the sweeteners.

Simple syrup is also an excellent choice to mix into the drink as well.

To make the drink, you will need: a Dutch oven or other large pot, measuring cup, spoon, fine mesh strainer, and beverage glasses.

Alternately, you may also make the drink in a slow cooker.

Making spiked wassail

One serves the traditional wassail recipe as a non-alcoholic drink.

But if you want to serve an alcoholic wassail recipe, you can. People enjoy spiking wassail with any of these liquors:

• whiskey
• bourbon
• rum
• amaretto or
• brandy.

Some people even enjoy spiking wassail with flavored liquors like Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey or Apple Brandy.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you that Fireball wassail is pretty delicious.

It makes a yummy Fireball punch.

When you serve wassail punch with alcohol, pour a shot of liquor into the mug or glass before pouring the wassail.

The heat from the wassail will warm the alcohol without being hot enough to cause the alcohol to evaporate. 

Just give it a gentle stir once in your cup to mix the flavors.

How to make Wassail Bowl Punch

Making homemade wassail is really simple.

Start by placing a large pot on the stove.

I like to use a Dutch oven for this, but even a stock pot will work. 

Add all of the ingredients into the Dutch oven and let them simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes.

It’s important to note that you don’t want it to come to a boil.

If it does, the mixture will begin to evaporate and you’ll lose noticeable volume if it boils at length.

For this reason, I like to put a lid on the pot just in case it gets too hot.

When it’s time to drink, strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to catch any loose spices. 

Pro-Tip: If you enjoy making wassail often during the winter, we like to make the spice blend ahead of time. 

The way we like to do that is to cut a small square of cheesecloth, place the spices on the cloth, and then tie it with  cooking twine.

Then you have them ready to go! 

It saves time, and you can even make up the spice “bags” and put them in a jar for a simple homemade gift!

Slow Cooker directions

These ingredients may also be combined in a slow-cooker and heated on high until mixture is hot, but not boiling.

Reduce setting to low. 

Using the slow cooker is also a great way to keep the drink warm if you’re serving it at an event.

After the drink has reached it’s ideal temperature, turn the temperature to low.

Keep the lid on it when not in use to prevent evaporation.

Mint chocolate lovers will love this Boozy Thin Mint Milkshake!

While my Grasshopper Cocktail Topped with Thin Mint Cookies is a wonderful cocktail for lovers of chocolate mint and shamrock shakes, this boozy milkshake is even more like the real deal.

Thick, sweet, cold, and creamy, this milkshake satisfies on every level.

And it’s still delectably creamy and smooth.

Enjoy a Delicious, Boozy Thin Mint Shake

When you love chocolate mint like we do, indulging in a delicious boozy milkshake is such a treat!

Boozy Thin Mint Milkshakes are made with the delicious blend of Creme de Menthe, Baileys Irish Cream, and White Creme de Cacao.

Blend them all together with mint chocolate chip ice cream and cookies, top with some whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

And share some yummy green milkshake with your favorite Saint Patrick’s Day companion.

It’s kind of like a boozy Shamrock Shake with Baileys!

And of course, if your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies, (or if she expects you to help sell them to your friends) this shake is a secret weapon to help make some Thin Mint sales… hee hee!

Just make some when you’re hanging out with your friends, and you may find yourself adding some orders to your daughter’s list.

Serve a Thin Mint Shake as part of a milkshake bar

Another wonderful thing about this Boozy Thin Mint Milkshake is how versatile the recipe is.

You have some really fun ingredients in this drink so you’re not stuck serving only a mint chocolate chip cocktail.

You can set up ingredients for a number of guests in a milkshake bar.

Then you can easily alternate between making alcoholic milkshakes and milkshakes that are alcohol-free.

We like to set up several different flavors of ice cream with various liquors and toppings so people can mix and match.

You can always print out this recipe card along with some of our other boozy shake and float recipes for some ideas.

This  is always a hit for summer cookouts.

But I think it’s only fair to warn you:

Once your friends learn that you can make these delectable drinks, they’ll be hitting you up to make creme de menthe milkshakes for every party, holiday, and get-together!

Thin Mint Boozy Milkshake Ingredients:

If you haven’t used Creme de Menthe before, you can always start with a small bottle to see how you like it. It’s got a delicious mint flavor.

Ingredients to make a Boozy Chocolate Mint Milkshake:

Makes 3-4 milkshakes depending on the size of your glass

• 4 scoops Mint Chocolate Ice Cream
• 6 Thin Mint Cookies, divided
• Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
• 3 oz Creme de Menthe
• 3 oz Baileys Irish Cream
• 1 oz White Creme de Cacao
• Ice
• Whipped Topping

Why do you use white Creme de Cacao (clear)

The reason we use White Creme de Cacao in this recipe rather than regular Creme de Cacao is for color rather than flavor reasons.

White Cream de Cacao is clear.

It tastes the same if you use regular Creme de Cacao, but the regular kind will dilute the pretty green color.

Because this drink has mint chocolate ice cream and Irish Cream in it, it already won’t be as bright green as a Grasshopper for example.

But it’s still got a nice green color using the white Creme de Cacao.

Can I make a non-alcoholic mint chocolate chip milkshake?

Sure!

Start by leaving out the alcohol.

Then you will need to replace some of the volume of the alcohol with milk.

Otherwise, you just end up with blended ice cream.

What you want to do is add a bit of milk at a time to see how you like it.

Basically, you want at least a 1/4 cup of milk for each cup of ice cream.

But some people like to use more – like as much as 3/4 cups of milk for each cup of ice cream.

It’s a personal preference.

So I recommend adding less, and then seeing if you want more if you’re unsure how much to use.

You can always add more, but you can’t take it away without adding more ice cream.

Oh no! More ice cream! 

How to Make a Boozy Thin Mint Shake:

You will want to blend the shake to your desired texture. We like a really thick shake, but if you prefer a thinner shake that’s a bit easier to drink through a straw, you can always add in a little bit of milk, or add some ice cubes, to the shake.

In a blender, add the ice cream and 4 of the Thin Mint Cookies. 

Blend well.

Add the Creme de Menthe, Bailey’s, and Creme de Cacao to the blender.

Blend it really well.

You want it to be nice and smooth.

Pour into each glass and top with whipped topping, drizzle chocolate syrup, and add a thin mint cookie to each milkshake.
