Gin Freeze-or how to make a frozen drink when you allowed the house to run out of RUM!
I imagine this has other names, but this is the concoction that we came up with one day when we were out of rum (gasp! Never run out of rum at the coast).
-Frozen Bacardi Real lime Mixer (or frozen lemonade)
-gin
-ice
-lime seltzer water (or lemon)
-lime sugar (or lemon…I am sure you got that by now)
Fill blender 1/2 full with ice. Add 1/2 can of Bacardi lime mixer. Pour in gin (this should be stored in the freezer so it is nice and cold) to taste. I don’t really measure the booze, but I would imagine I put in about 2 full shot glasses in each blender of frosty goodness. Turn blender on and blend until very smooth.
Pour into a glass and fill about 2/3 full. Now take that cold seltzer water and pour about an ounce on top. Sprinkle with lime sugar. Top with a lime wedge and enjoy!!!
Okay…YUM!
You are making me dream of summer and my pool and my margarita machine….

Ok, first: run out of rum? I would be more astonished and disapproving if I had not, ahem, run out of rum myself, just this week. Fortunately, I had not yet run out of vodka or tequila (although now am out of vodka, too).
Your gin freeze sounds yummy and I want Leeann’s margarita machine. mk
*drool*
Yes, please.
