Makes four slushies.

Ingredients

• Granulated sugar (optional, for rimming the glass)
• 1.5 cups vodka
• 1.5 cups freshly squeezed blood orange juice
• 5-6 cups ice
• Whipped cream or cool whip
• Blood orange slices for garnish

Directions

1. If rimming the glasses with sugar: moisten the rim of the glass with water or a wedge of orange. Dip each of the four glasses upside-down into a dish or small plate of sugar. Set aside.
2. Add the vodka, blood orange juice, and 5 cups ice to a blender. Blend until a slushy consistency, adding the additional 1 cup ice if needed.
3. Pour into glasses, stopping once the glasses are halfway full. Add a dollop of whipped cream or cool whip to each glass. Add the rest of the frozen drink to the glass.
4. Garnish with the blood orange slices and enjoy immediately.
