Frozen Hula Hoop

A sweet-tart blend of pineapple, raspberry, and lemon adds fresh fruit flavor to this slushy frozen drink from Erick Castro spiked with white rum, Aperol, and dry red wine. With plenty of heat from the trio of alcohols, those fresh summer fruits keep the drink well balanced. Make your own raspberry syrup by infusing simple syrup with fresh berries, or purchase a bottle at the liquor store or online.

We really liked this drink. We all agreed the first round that it needed double the alcohol, but the second one was great. Splashed a little extra raspberry syrup in the glass before pouring and it looked much closer to the picture. Good pineapple juice is a must. Just double the booze and it is great.

This is a total bomb. The recipe has to be off and 6 cups of ice is way too much . Also it WILL NOT look at all like the pic. It’s just a pink frozen drink. Since I just hunted down raspberry syrup I am now determined to remake this- it needs more RUM, aperol and Shiraz definitely less lemon and pineapple juice :(
