Red, White, And Blue Boozy Punch

The summer Olympics have begun, and what better time to practice your patriotism than cheering on Team America with boozy slushies? These Red, White, And Blue Boozy Shushies are berrylicious, and the perfect drink for watching Michael Phelps glide through the water, or Gabby Douglas flip through the air like some human quarter. These athletes have worked their entire lives to get ready for this moment, and the least you can do is get a little tipsy whilst cheering them from the comfort of your armchair. We might not ever know the glory of personally winning the gold for our country, but we can certainly sip delicious slushes while watching the best of the best do just that.
