1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup vodka good quality
2 cups ice cubes approximate, add more if needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

Blender
Saucepan

Method

Combine the chopped chipotle peppers, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
0.5 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water
Pour the cooled chipotle syrup into a blender along with the vodka, lemon juice, and ice cubes. Secure the lid tightly.
1 cup vodka, 2 cups ice cubes, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and frosty, about 30-45 seconds. You should see the ice break down into tiny crystals and the drink turn a vibrant smoky hue.
Taste the mixture and adjust the heat by adding a splash more lemon juice if desired, then briefly blend again to combine.
Pour the slushie into chilled glasses. Garnish with a small slice of lime or a tiny smoked paprika sprinkle for visual appeal.
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer for an icy, smoky, spicy experience. Enjoy your daring summer treat!

Notes

Adjust spice levels by varying the amount of chipotle syrup. For a milder drink, use fewer peppers or less syrup; for a smokier, spicier profile, add more.
