As so often, Jeffrey Morgenthaler has some answers. Here‘s his recipe for a blended Negroni, a blended Pina Colada and an article about his technique when making blended cocktails. Hope that helps. Cheers!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.
If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.
Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.
Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.

Freeze lime & lemon juice, put your drink mix in the freezer so it's super cold when you blend, and there is a post on here about using tonic syrup instead of tonic water, look for ways like that to make the flavor more concentrated.
But also yes - different drinks are more amenable to being slushies. Things like a last word don't have enough dilution to have a bunch of ice blended into them. Margaritas and Daiquiris do taste good frozen.
I think of it more like boozing up a frozen lemonade or whatever, and less like freezing up a stiff drink.
Thanks. There were a few bars I remember doing things like frozen negronis or frozen gimlets, which I prefer to super sweet slushies. So trying to figure out how to do things more in that direction.
