Sparkling Strawberry Kiwi Slushies

I miss lots of things about not being pregnant- the ability to walk up my stairs or heck down my hall without getting winded, regular clothing, and summer cocktails. Today, I’m doing my best to alleviate some of my summer cocktail sadness by bringing you this fun mocktail: sparkling strawberry kiwi slushies.
You guys, so good.
And so pretty. A must because all good summer cocktails and mocktails should be pretty right? Ok, well in my world this is just a fact. Because obv.
And so easy. All you need is a few frozen strawberries, some kiwi, a splash of lime and some Strawberry Kiwi Sparkling ICE. Have you guys tried this stuff?
So yummy. It’s super fizzy so it’s perfect because it is satisfying my serious craving for carbonation and making an excellent sparkling wine substitute right now. It comes in all sorts of fun flavors, but I grabbed this because well, you know me and pink. I knew I wanted to make a pink mocktail. Because what else would I make?
Like 90 percent of the drinks I make for you guys are pink. Pomegranate rose spritzers, cranberry champagne cocktails, heck even my sunshine citrus berry smoothies are pink.
But back to the drink. These are so easy. Just pop a bunch of frozen strawberries and one peeled kiwi in a blender with some lime juice and blend away. The consistency will be thick but that’s ok.
Pour that goodness into some glasses. Bonus points if you want to feel fancy with me and use wine glasses. Then top each glass off with some Strawberry Kiwi Sparkling ICE. Oh and for you non preggos out there, make an adult version by adding a shot of rum to each drink. YAS!
And because I like to be just a little extra, add a fun paper straw, a pretty strawberry and a slice of kiwi. Then enjoy.

GIRL I AM WITH YOU. I'm 38 weeks but it feels more like 60 at this point. I can't wait to try this recipe and pretend it's a fancy cocktail, hopefully while someone else rubs my feet. Hang in there!!
