Miso Ginger Summer Slushee Cocktail
If you were a 90’s kid like me, you know that we all loved going to 7/11 in the summer time and loading up on those giant slushee drinks - especially on free slurpee day. It was a the ultimate sweet frozen treat that was also unfortunately loaded with refined sugars and dyes that made our heads spin. It may have not been the healthiest thing to sip on, but the feeling of having a cold drink in your hand in the summer sun makes me so nostalgic for a simpler time.
Not only is this drink nostalgic, but it’s a remedy for nausea, bloating, and is an aid for gut health and your immune system. Miso paste is a traditional thick paste produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and sometimes rice, barley, seaweed, or other ingredients. Miso’s rich probiotic content have been shown to boost your immune system, help ward off infections, and can promote gut health and digestion. Pair that with ginger which has so many positive effects on aiding your immune system and digestion, and you have yourself the perfect health promoting duo!
I love this recipe because you can make it for the whole family. You’ve got the non alcoholic versions for the kids and non-drinkers, and then you can spike the other versions with your favorite spirit or even CBD/THC for a real party! This summer, save this recipe when you want to beat the heat and give your gut health a boost at the same time!

Makes 2 mocktails:
The Goods:
1 tbsp miso paste
1/2 tsp shaved ginger
1.5 oz agave
2 oz lemon juice
4.5 oz water (or non alcoholic tequila) (or real tequila)
2 cups ice
orange zest garnish + dehydrated orange slice
The Method:
Grab a high powered blender and add the miso paste, shaved ginger, agave, lemon juice, water or tequila or non alcoholic tequila, and blend on high for 30-45 seconds. Optional to use CBD/THC tincture with the water version for a greener side effect.
Once everything is smooth, add your 2 cups ice, and blend again for 1 minute until you have a slushee consistency. If it’s too watery, just add another 3/4 cup of ice at a time until you have a slushee vibe.
Grab two tall martini glasses, and pour the slushy from the blender into both glasses.
Garnish both glasses with a generous amount of orange zest and a dehydrated orange slice. (Watch this YouTube video to see how you can make your own dehydrated fruit!)
Enjoy immediately before it melts!
