  • 1 cup fresh citrus juice orange and lime juice combined
  • 0.5 cup simple syrup adjust sweetness as desired
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth and spice

Method
 

  1. Juice fresh oranges and limes using a citrus juicer, then combine the juices in a measuring cup.
  2. Pour the citrus juice into the blender, followed by the rum and simple syrup. Add the ground cinnamon for a hint of spice.
  3. Add the ice cubes to the blender to create a chilled, slushy mixture.
  4. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a texture similar to granular snow.
  5. Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be thick and slushy but pourable. If needed, blend a few seconds longer.

  7. Enjoy immediately with a straw or spoon for a cool, refreshing treat that captures summery zest with a spirited kick.
