OUTSTANDING Whiskey Slushy Cocktails You NEED To Try This Summer!

[@czrs85]

Finally a great cocktail video. I understand people love the whiskey/bourbon reviews, but I love the cocktail videos.

[@macville82]

Nothing like watching this at 645 in the morning🤣

[@Brad-ic4bp]

So throw a little kale in there and call it a breakfast smoothie.

[@nickp5511]

6:00 for me

[@nickp5511]

Fun video! I don’t normally make any cocktails but I do like a smoothie now and then:)

[@bc4evernow]

Woke the entire house up with the blender. Ha

[@kevint1911]

You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning!

[@jw-lk1pe]

my parents used to make bourbon slush. They used frozen orange juice concentrate and would add bourbon then throw back in the freezer. it was fantastic

[@brianchappell4054]

The outros of the jazz piano are mighty fine.

[@MileHighGrowler]

You can also toss in 1/8 tsp of xanthan gum into the mix to help emulsify and prevent the separation of ice and liquid in the glass. These look like great drinks; thanks for the inspiration!

[@DRob1892]

Add a pinch of cinnamon to the peach one to make it a peach cobbler coktail.

[@josephmaschari1073]

Great to see you doing some cocktails again

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

You guys deserve all the views, fantastic content guys ❤️😊

[@fredocuomo5386]

that peach slushy is similar to peach blackberry bourbon smash/slushy i make 2oz four roses single barrel 1oz honey syrup (3:1) 1oz fresh orange juice with microplaned lime peel 2 mint leaves 1/2 ripe peach 4 or 5 blackberries for smash: maserate peach, blackberries, mint leaves with orange juice and syrup..let sit 1 minute..mix bourbon and strain over ice and top off with club soda..garnish with mint leaf, 2 or 3 blackberries, and peach slice for slushy: add peach, blackberries, mint, honey syrup, bourbon, and ice to mixer..mix till smooth..garnish same as smash perfect on these hot and muggy midwest summer days

[@austinmartin2927]

I watched this and was really excited to try them out. Went to Walmart and bought a new Magic Bullet. Cheaped out on the $40 one. Wish I hadn't though, because the darn thing couldn't even grind one single ice cube. The unit overheated and now it's basically trash 😂 Thankfully I have a full sized Ninja kitchen blender, so that saved the day!

[@christopherevans4273]

My wife is going to love all 3 of these!

[@robertbooth3367]

Nice return to your roots! Gonna try tweaking a couple just slightly as the lady isn't a bourbon fan per se so.... The Peach slushy, going to use 1 oz Crown Royal Peach and 1 oz Maker's Mark 101 to add a little bit more 'peach' and dial back the proof slightly for her. Same thing on the blackberry using Crown Royal Blackberry. She will drink both Crowns on ice so these should be total winners in this heat wave. Great video especially dialing down the injury potential for Trenton

[@ct6447]

I just found the channel love the content, please make more cocktails 🍹 videos

[@whatsthepoint170]

Great ideas guys! This is how I’m gonna get my wife to drink bourbon!

[@robertgarrison6249]

I started her on Bourbon Cream on ice. Training wheels.

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

​@@robertgarrison6249training wheels 😂😂

[@dustinhebert4162]

Down here in south Texas watermelon and mint are very abundant this time of year. Sooooo...

[@RubyAskew-cp9vm]

Cocktail Time with Kurt! YES!

[@randc47]

I def miss the cocktail videos! I’m sure they don’t get as many views on the KZbin, but I dig them!

[@justinvandee9428]

Great now I have to decide new bottle to sip neat or blender. 😅

[@paulc1173]

I’m thinking muddled, dirty pour, with pebbled ice topper. I’ll try the blended, but think the classic cocktail style allows all the individual flavors to come through and to be enjoyed.

[@paullaiming4465]

Great video...I will ntry some orange sinceit goes well with bourbon or rye and half shot of simple to control sugars. fabulous great with bbq ribs

[@jdubpdx3668]

Just riffed on this with about 7 bing cherries, juice of a lime, agave syrup and Early Times BiB. Fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration. 🥃

[@christinecamley]

Not a slushy fan at all for cocktails! Stirred only with Scotch or Rye! Maybe a good Bourbon! Hey Rare Breed over a classy ice cub rules in the heat but I can't do slushy! Hey Lagavulin 11 Offerman 4th Edition with rum casking is delicious scotch and although I have to drink higher end scotch neat only someone might love this Offerman over a lovely ice cube! Sorry! Lol! My bad!! You guys rock! Cheers! 🙂

[@charlesost7497]

Tried the strawberry one..very good.

[@Valath]

more whiskey cocktails please!

[@Tantrum777]

These look fantastic but I was thinking Raspberry the entire time. I want to try all three and then do my Raspberry thing.

[@danhyatt9246]

I substitute maple syrup for the simple syrup for the black berries 🤩

[@tommcmanus3091]

Tried it with fresh raspberries-I cried. ❤👌

[@billeverett4090]

If you want to use the frozen fruit you can go with a little less ice and add some water to get back to the original dilution but and avoiding the excess thickness.

[@rbaronso]

Been a big fan for quite awhile. First time commenting though. Love this video! Great job on the cocktails, Kurt! I made all 3 of them and enjoyed each one! The Blackberry Mint happened to be my favorite. For whatever it is worth, just thought I would share how to improve the cocktail (of course for my preference). After making it the first time (and loving it!), I noticed that I ended up getting tons of blackberry seeds with each sip, which I found to be a bit annoying having to spit them out each time. So, in order to fix that situation, I tried first blending the blackberries with the whiskey. Then, strained the liquid into a cup catching all of the seeds and discarding them. Using just the blackberry juice with the bourbon, I added in the lime juice, simple syrup, mint leaves, blended it all together with the ice, added the garnishes and VOILA! Phenomenal and a super impressive cocktail! Thanks again for sharing your 3 great ideas for slushie cocktails! Cheers!

[@johnshenk-vm2ic]

Great episode guys! I'm on vacation this week, and it's super hot here in SE Virginia. Perfect ideas!

[@brienburke4382]

Wow. Perfect Timing with this hot humid weather we are getting. The only cocktails I make all came from you Kurt. Thank You!!!

[@jefflucius1372]

Wife isn’t a huge bourbon straight fan but she loved these! Great video

[@Whiskey5-0]

If you ever make it out to barrel king they have amazing bourbon slushies

[@wg2060]

Will be experimenting with these. We do variations with vodka and takilya. I’m eyeing the Knob Creek now

[@freevin51]

I just made the blackberry mint, didn't have mint, used a little fresh basil, tasted great. Maybe a little bit too sweet, will use less syrup next time.

[@jondilly1974]

Cherries and Maple Syrup would be great with a cask MGP high rye bourbon pour

[@markmasercola3958]

Just made the peach cocktail for the Mrs. She loved it. Told her about the others. Her suggestion was the addition of Basil for the strawberry one.

[@ps138vs2cavi]

My wife will love those!! Gonna do the Strawberry one with strawberries from our garden

[@jamiebrandon8475]

Buffalo wild wings has a blackberry mint bourbon cocktail it’s not frozen and they top it with a little club soda. I’ll have to try it frozen.

[@michaelgullette8327]

Throw a little basil in the simple syrup for that strawberry one and its fantastic

[@TheMarcopix]

I used to make limoncello every summer so I had a LOT of lemons after removing the zest and I'd squeeze them out and make lemonade all summer. We would take OF100, lemonade, and muddle mint into it and pour over ice. About the same thing as your first cocktail...sans the berries. Great stuff.

[@fredknotts4031]

My wife said when she uses frozen fruit she cuts back on the ice in her smoothies to avoid that too thick consistency. I have all these ingredients here so we will be testing these out this evening. Thanks!

[@ericsnyder2424]

The first one is essentially a frozen Black-eyed Rye, which is a cocktail served at the Sagamore Distillery.

[@ryannorman6965]

Oh man! Blackberry is my jam - definitely going to try all three of these. So the template is: Fresh fruit (quarter to half cup?), 1 oz simple syrup, 1 oz citrus juice, 2 oz bourbon/rye (100 proof), 1.5 cups ice. Blend and serve. Dig it!

[@AndSno]

Drinking the blackberry cocktail right now. Absolutely delicious and beautiful with the garnish. I used Makers Cask Strength 190 proof.

[@AndSno]

Oops… 109 proof 😂

[@jetpuffed47]

I have sooo missed your cocktail videos! This was great!!

[@kennethjames8314]

Me & my wife our huge fans of the Strawberry one! It will be definitely a staple of our Summer party's. Thank you! 😊😊

[@Steve-nc5tp]

Pear makes a great cold cocktail

[@IvysHill]

Tried the blackberry with Wild Turkey 101 and loved it enough to make a second.

[@henrydavidsonguitar]

This was an amazing video, would love to see more easy to make at home cocktail videos! Especially for the summer

[@Saki630]

damn good job pops! Make that $$$ money $$$ with this video. I'm sure everyone will like these!

[@pearson1662]

I used watermelon in the template and it was excellent

[@hollyjhj3732]

These look great, Kurt! I love it when you give us some cocktails. Summer goals!

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I don’t have a blender at the moment, but I think a frozen Paper Airplane would be good. The regular version is good, but a little thick and intensely sweet (almost like a slushy syrup base).

[@dinktv9095]

I was also gonna say I’d use Old Grandad 114 as it’s my favorite mixer.

[@tomhubbard7053]

What a treat guys! I made the strawberry slushie for the family this evening and it was a tremendous hit. I agree with the statement about proof. All I had at hand that I wanted to mix with was a 90 proof bourbon and while delicious, more proof would have been nice. In the coming days we will be trying all of the versions. I had to come back and update my comment. Last night I made the Gold Rush slushie, and OMG, it was a hit with everyone. Even my wife, who is not a bourbon fan was asking for one. Only tweak I made was to make them just a touch sweeter, and they were a perfect way to us the peaches we just recently purchased from The Peach Truck. From a fellow hoosier, thank you again for an awesome channel.

[@richardsneed1255]

Love the cocktail videos! Give lots of ideas when things get in a little bit of a rut. Thanks guys!

[@CurtisMishleau]

I don't know if you will see this comment, SLB drinks, but I spent several years working on a cocktail I called Georgia sunset. It's a peach and whiskey based cocktail that is absolutely delicious. I would love to share the recipe.

[@JoshMeert]

StrawberRye Slushie may be a new staple

[@borgcutus5780]

Great video guys, and so timely with summer starting and a good portion of the country boiling this week. Hope my old blender is still strong enough to shave up the cubes... 🤔

[@yomama9462]

Very inspiring video we have some really good fresh cherries and I used a cup (pain to get the pits out) of those with fresh lime juice and a good rye. Was delicious! Should have made a double batch my wife liked it too. Trying the strawberry lemon next!

[@jennifersimpson8413]

Great video. I will definitely be trying these. It is hot and humid in South Central Texas and I must admit, I get bored with the same old frozen cocktails. Thanks for the ideas. Cheers!

[@brianclayton1875]

Made the blackberry version today. Used Blackberry Crown for my wife and Buffalo Trace for mine…delicious!

[@lfd_eng9219]

We have one of those Jimmy Buffet Margarita makers...it doesn't care what liquid you put in the pitcher. A frozen Old Fashioned while floating in the pool is a most wonderful thing!!! Need to try it with your recipes!!! Cheers and stay cool!!! 🥃🥃🥃

[@tonycronin3080]

Sounds great. That blackberry mint one is very similar to a whiskey smash which I love.

[@jamestaylor9258]

Sipping Calumet 15 out of one of your glencairns. :)

[@bhalli95]

Love the cocktail content, would love to see more and maybe some non-blender drinks. Also you have to call the Gold Rush Slushie "the Gold Slush".

[@tomgensel4134]

Made summer a little better 🍹🍹🍹

[@chrisgravbelle7980]

Awesome cocktails guys!

[@nathanbalysh7158]

Great job guys! Can't wait to try these. It also mid 90s and crazy humid here in Michigan this week, so this video is timed perfectly. Cheers!

[@Speciarii]

A few ideas to consider. When using frozen fruit, thaw the fruit first or if you leave it frozen decrease the amount of ice used. To prevent the separation of frozen drinks (the melted layer at the bottom) add 1/4 - 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum prior to blending. To prevent the unblended ice, use crushed ice. Cheers guys 🍹

[@Urotsukidoji1]

I started watching when it was a cocktail channel :)

[@scottcarlson8502]

The black berry and strawberry has been great! Thanks for the recipes!

[@philanddonnatokazowski4252]

Thank you. Finally, i was wondering where the cocktails went.

[@gregarundale6106]

Great video. I have done several blended drinks on Ask Allen About Low Carb Cocktails, using that same Nutrabullet mixer. I use Splenda based simple syrup and I have found a zero sugar Cinnamon Honey syrup from Skinny Mixes that is a great substitute for honey syrup (going for the Low Carb since I am Diabetic). I'll have to try more Whiskey blended drinks. That is a great idea for hot summer days. Maybe a Blended Mint Julep... That sounds like it would be good!

[@kevintaylor3648]

One of my favorite shows, can't wait to try these.

[@johnk7093]

Second time in my life being in PA during this time... was 98 with 80% humidity and where I came from they were at 49 degrees.............. fricken melting I am.... AND because of Kurt, I am enjoying whiskey with a cube.......... helps cool ya down. So will be trying these for sure. cheers blackberry rye................. ooooo

[@David-hm9ic]

It's always so much fun watching you guys. Then I have to go make an Old Fashioned, a cocktail or or something tasty even if I wasn't craving one before your video. This is just a personal preference but guests notice the difference, too. I let the blender run 4-5 times longer than you do. It reduces the little bits of ice to a creamy texture more like a milkshake. Give it a try!

[@bassiclymike]

I have a bag of frozen mixed berries in the freezer right now... I'm thinking that plus some Evan Williams BIB, Wild Turkey 101 or Heaven Hill BIB plus some simple syrup and lime juice might be pretty amazing. Definitely want to try it with the mint in it too. Nice going!

[@Rustyb1590]

Those look perfect for summer. I plan to try at least two of them if not all three.

[@honker1307]

Love the cocktail episodes, keep these coming!!!!

[@garystielow232]

I love cocktail time at the SLB Drinks! These look fantastic, I'm certainly going to have to try them.

[@RJR2222]

All is right with the world. Kurt back to making cocktails. Appreciate the throwback but missed the apron.

[@journeyofbear6423]

I'm beach bound in a few weeks. These look like pool side winners!

[@allencanning448]

If you want to use frozen fruit, just cut the amount of ice. It won’t be that solid of a slushy. Great video!

[@toomanypages]

I expect Trenton to fall face forward in one of these videos. 😂 Love you guys.

[@jnls463]

Thanks for this! Gonna make them for our 4th of July party!

[@bigcountrybriar9911]

I just made a similar cocktail. Muddled 8 cherries with ounce of maraschino cherry syrup out of jar and juice of one large lemon. Poured in blender filled with ice and 4 ounces bourbon. Blended till smooth. Garnished with a cherry. Made enough for two. Was good but I’ll probably add simple syrup next time I make it. Cheers SLB!

[@Aj9Livess]

Ooo ya got me thinking of concoctions 👀 pineapple syrup, mint and banana mayhaps? Lotta people don't like banana tho haha

[@waded2678]

Muddle cubed peach in rock glass, fill with ice, fill rest with tea infused moonshine

[@danielclark3726]

These are the episodes that I look forward to.

[@careyverba]

Good job guys, nice change from the standard video. Definitely going to try them.

[@LP23D6]

Great video fellas. The fresh berries are getting close to ripe and the thermometer is rising. I have hundreds of bottles to use and experiment with. Can't wait to try these. My wife is not a whisky gal but loves peaches. I have high hopes there.

[@poodlebone]

Since this video first went live, I have made the blackberry & strawberry slushies. I've made the strawberry twice, using bourbon instead of rye the second time. I hate summer and these drinks will make it a little less horrible. Next I need some ripe peaches!

[@willwilcox5832]

Just got to this video. Awesome ideas. Keep them coming.

[@JimTaylorFTWTX]

Can’t wait to try all of these but was really hoping for a frozen old fashioned slushy.

[@billdarrah5030]

Sweating over here in Fort Wayne. I have some Frey Ranch Rye I brought back from NV and will get the rest of ingredients to make the strawberry rye whiskey slushy! Thanks for the cocktail video!

[@KenBassler12]

Awesome video! More cocktail videos please!

[@patrickp3485]

These will be great options next week while I’m at the gulf coast!

[@stephanieknapp1217]

Great video! I never thought you could make frozen drinks with bourbon. I want to try all of these this summer!
