Why this recipe works

When you combine sweet strawberries with tart grapefruit juice then add in the bite of vodka, you get a refreshing bitter-sweet cocktail that’s bursting with flavor.

This frozen strawberry salty dog takes the classic salty dog recipe to a new level with the addition of strawberries. On top of that, we’re throwing it in the blender with some ice to bring it to cool, slushy perfection.

We love turning drinks into frozen cocktails, like our Wine Slushies or this Mango Margarita Slush. They’re great during the hot summer months where you can count on them to cool you down.

VODKA – While any type of vodka is fine, a higher quality spirit will work best in this recipe.

STRAWBERRIES – Fresh or frozen strawberries can be used. Frozen strawberries will help with the slush factor of your drink. There really is no huge difference between using fresh or frozen strawberries, it just comes down to preference!
