I used to think nothing could top a Starbucks Frappuccino—until my blender and I got on the same page. These blended drinks are colder, creamier, and don’t come with a misspelled name on the cup. You can skip the $7 charge and still end up with something that hits harder than the drive-thru version. Plus, you control the sweetness, the extras, and the size—because small is never the answer. One sip and you’ll wonder why you ever waited in line for a watered-down imitation.
Raspberry Margarita
Tart raspberries and lime cut through the tequila just right, so you won’t miss a beat. If your idea of a good time involves something pink, strong, and icy cold, this one checks all the boxes. A solid reason to dust off that blender.

Peach Elderflower Frosé
Brandy, peaches, and a splash of elderflower make this one hit different. It’s bold without trying too hard and melts perfectly into your afternoon plans. You’ll want this on repeat for any hot day that calls for a blended drink.

Frozen Limoncello Gin Spritz Cocktail
Sharp, citrusy, and slightly boozy—this frozen spritz is basically vacation in a cup. It’s got six ingredients and zero stress. The kind of slush that holds up against triple-digit heat without going boring.

Virgin Piña Colada
This kid-friendly blender drink leans into pure coconut and pineapple without the extras. You get creamy texture, big tropical flavor, and a break from sugary store-bought stuff. Great pick when you’re skipping the booze but not the fun.

Chocolate Pineapple Smoothie
This one’s for when your brain wants dessert but your fridge says “fruit and milk.” Pineapple keeps it bright, chocolate keeps it grounded. Ideal for breakfast, snack time, or pretending you’re a health nut with a sweet tooth.

Frozen Strawberry Margarita
No one’s reinventing the margarita here—it just works. Bright strawberry flavor hits first, then the tequila reminds you it’s not a smoothie. Blends fast, chills even faster, and plays nice with anything grilled.

Frozen Aperol Spritz
Less bitter, more slushy. This one blends Aperol, orange, and bubbles into something way cooler than a regular spritz. Bring this out when your fridge is empty but your freezer’s working overtime.
