The Secret to Creating Awesome Frozen Cocktails

Thank you to Daily’s Cocktails for sending me a goodie bag filled with fun #DestinationDailys gear, and trusting me to share my opinion on their products with you awesome ladies…

“The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass.” – Martin Mull… That quote pretty much sums up my approach to summer. I love lazy days, relaxing on the patio in my hammock {I just bought this portable Double Hammock and am in love.} I love watching the kids splash around in the pool while I sip a cool fruity drink, letting the day slip by slowly. Oh wait – that’s what I WOULD love to do if I had more time! And as a super over-scheduled work at home mom, with a toddler of my own, and two wild nephews all day – time is something that is in short supply around here. But, since this site is all about “Smart Solutions for Busy Moms” – I of course have found a couple of short-cuts that help me have a little more time to lounge in the hammock with a drink in hand. Keep reading to learn about the easiest way ever to make frozen cocktails.

Daily’s Pouches – The easiest way to make frozen cocktails

Seriously, these babies are uh-MAY-zing. I have a Magic Bullet Mixer that I had always used to make frozen drinks. It works good – but when you’re having a party, it can be time consuming to keep mixing up drink after drink. Simple solution? Daily’s frozen pouches! They carry traditional drinks like frozen Lemonade or Strawberry Daiquiri – plus super fun choices like Pomagranate Acai Margarita. You just put ’em in the freezer for a few hours – then when it’s party time I throw them all in a big bucket on ice, and let guests grab and go.

3 steps to simple frozen cocktails:

• 1. Grab a Daily’s Pouch.
• 2. Squish it up a bit to make it perfectly slushy.
• 3. Tear off the top and enjoy!

You could stick a straw right in the pouch, all “Grown-Up-Juice-Pouch” style, or get classy with trendy drinkware. I also like making layered drinks {which I will have to get photos of next time to show you!} For the 4th of July we went on a huge camping trip – {where my phone got ZERO service, so I didn’t carry it. Which is why I didn’t get pictures}. While we were there, I made layered red, white, and blue drinks using the frozen Tropical pouches – Pina Colada, Blue Hawaiian, and the Hurricane. SOOOO good!

Frozen Cocktails You Make Anywhere

If you’re somewhere that bringing a blender is kind of not an option – camping, tailgaiting, picnic, friend’s backyard… This is a perfect way to still enjoy top-notch cocktails. When they’re frozen, they hold up great for an amazingly long time in a cooler, and you need zero supplies to put them together. Which makes them perfect at our pool parties!
