Previously, on Red Means Go, I mentioned the delicate but rewarding act of knowing how to mix your very own vodka slushie. Tonight, I attended my first baseball game featuring the often imitated, but never duplicated Florida Marlins. And although I forfeited my time of writing this evening to watch a game I hardly understand and excites me as much as watching my dogs poop, some noteworthy things are worth mentioning.
1) As mentioned before, the best place to buy your slushie concoction and insert the vodka into is McDonald's. Granted that this may just be my point of view, but the makers of the McCafe fruit smoothies are cocktail lovers in disguise and thought these puppies up with one intent and one intent only: the vodka slushie.

In Miami, there's an often ridiculed town called Hialeah that's deemed low-class/ghetto and is mostly inhabited by Cubans that just arrived from the island and can't utter the words "cat" or "hat" without somehow butchering them. I was happy to discover a McDonald's in Hialeah the other day that makes mango/pineapple smoothies (also known as, the ultimate tropical vodka slushie). It infuriates me to admit no other McDonald's in Miami mixes this delicious nectar of the gods, but if you're so lucky to have one in your town you'll love me forever (just add two oz. of vodka and mix vigorously).
2) Britt can be incredibly amusing when she's drinking... Especially when attempting to be taken seriously. Overheard tonight after mango slushies while waiting in the car for the torrential rains to subside.
"Jo (real name spoiler alert)... There's too much slushie in my vodka."
"All the air in this straw is making it impossible to consume the fun stuff."
"Awwwww, I hate getting sober."
"Which is your biggest boob, the left or the right?"
There's just no being good when bad influences are so easily accessible, guys.
Marlins lost tonight but I assure you that somehow, I'm still winning.

This proves, once again, that the main reason to go to (and enjoy) baseball games is to get absolutely blasted drunk.
I tried your slushie experiment with a Watermelon slush from Sonic & vodka. Wow. It was orgasmic.
Sonic!!! Try the cherry slushie with vodka, it's delish! But now I want to go try your version of the the ultimate slushie. I wonder if I have to venture out to our own version of a ghetto/low class neighborhood to experience this delight. Hmmm, I'll keep you posted! :)
Well,
I make my own vodka sushies. Yup, be amazed.
Things you need:
Blender
Ice
drink of choice
iced tea of choice
Lemon juice or Lime juice
Blend
personally I use crystal light pink lemonade with lime juice and vodka, it is great.
In a pinch, vodka and apple juice aren't bad. Not my drink of choice, but if all you have is vodka and, say, coffee, milk and apple juice, you gotta go with the apple juice.
OH and also I was on vacation in Mallorca, Spain a few years back at this all-inclusive families' hotel club resort thingy (sounds better than it was) and they actually had pina colada and margarita slushie MACHINES. Looked like your normal slushie until you took your first sip.
I keep wanting to go back there, but for some reason my wife says no.
I'll have try to that. The slushies, I mean. Though I haven't been drunk in a long time--the prospect is frightening! But they do sound tasty.
Thanks for the great recipe, will try one very soon. Loved the great picture of you.
why have i never thought of this before? ...i praise your name!
I have often said the same thing about the strawberry lemondade at Dunkin Donuts. Just at tequila or vodka. YUM! I'm not a baseball fan either but sounds like it was a fun night out.
There is nothing, NOTHING, that makes baseball watchable like alcohol. In Wichita there was a local minor league baseball team that had $1 beers on Mondays and Thursdays; it was a glorious, beautiful, sloppy thing.
Lost: I kept hearing that but everyone these seemed totally sober. Also, the drinks were like $16! WTF?
Yvonne: You're the second person to say Sonic. I don't even know where we have those down here but assure you I will remember if I ever run into one.
Penny: Sounds good and low in calories. Crafty, Miss Thang!
wagthedad: I love Spain. Oh my Gosh you just brought me memories of my favorite place on earth :) Why in the world would your wife not want to go back there?
Odie: Thanks, hunny buns.
Poke: Hallelujah! Trust me it's scrumptious.
Barb: Sounds good with tequila. Must try.
Monste: Love the way you described that honey. Well played.
They have those smoothies here in dallas. they are heaven.. next time i'll have to add some vodka..
p.s. there is something waiting for you over at my place AmberLaShell Rants
I'm sure you had a great time getting drunk and trying to get your hands on someone's foul balls, whore.
LMFAO AT THE
Which Boob is Bigger? xD :L
Really made my day :')
Much Luv xoxo <3
Best. Idea. Ever.
Just saw a commercial for the mango/pineapple smoothie. Apparently we have them in Texas!
