3. Color-Changing Frozen Mojito - (Buzzfeed)
Have to admit, I'm intrigued by this one. Red cabbage is infused into boiling water to create blue simple syrup. When the acid in the lime juice hits it, color shift! I think it's in the Tasty cookbook, and you can see it play out in the video. Get the recipe here.

8. Cherry Moscato Slush - (Salt & Lavender)
I always stock up on frozen cherries (because I'm usually too lazy to pit them). Pair those with a bottle of moscato and a spike of lime, and this is where you're at. Get the recipe here.

9. Strawberry Dragonfruit Margarita - (Host The Toast)
In addition to frozen cherries, I always stock up on frozen dragonfruit puree when I come across it. I can imagine a version of this using the puree being A+! Get the recipe here.

10. Frozen Blood Orange Negroni - (The Kitchn)
The classic Negroni is equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Here it meets the blender and gets rounded out with fresh blood orange juice. Yes, please. Get the recipe here.

11. Bourbon Slush Punch - (Smitten Kitchen)
Finishing strong. Literally. Smitten Kitchen meets Garden & Gun. This one looks a tad dangerous. Get the recipe here.
