My notes

Tips

  • For an alcohol-free version, use 3 tbsp alcohol-free blue curaçao syrup in place of the liqueur and the sugar, and 5 tbsp cold water in place of the vodka (1½ times as much of each in a 709 ml24 oz tubpint).
  • Use regular soda. Diet and zero-sugar sodas freeze rock hard and will not shave into a smooth slush.
  • Keep the vodka out of the base. The blue curaçao is diluted enough to freeze, but more alcohol in the tubpint stops it freezing firm.

Why it works

Blue curaçao is much lower in alcohol than vodka, so it can go in the base and color the ice evenly while the base stays under 4% alcohol and freezes firm. Soda, liqueur and a little sugar bring it to about 15% sugar for fine, soft ice.
