25 in 2025 -- Try at least one new beer, cider, or cocktail -- Frozen Venom-Ade

 Last week at the T-Rats game, I saw a pink slushy drink that looked really good. Heather and I decided we wanted to try it. When we got to the game today, we headed to Carbliss Bar figuring that is where it would be as that's what has the drink of the game. 

We tell the guy that working we wanted the pink slushy drink in a mason jar and he knew what we were talking about. He told us to go to Leinie Lodge. They have the slushy drinks. Off to the Lodge we went.

It turns out there are two slushy drinks -- one pink and one blue. The blue one was a margarita and the pink one was a vodka lemonade. I'm not a huge Margarita fan and Vodka makes me loopy quick. Since I was not driving for a while, I opted for the pink one -- Frozen Venom-Ade. 

The Frozen Venom-Ade was Vodka, Passion Fruit Liqueur, and Lemonade. It cost me $12 but refills in the mason jar were only $10. Not bad for a game day drink.

The Venom-Ade was quite delicious. It was fruity but not overly sweet. Vodka really does make everything better. I liked that it quickly melted and wasn't so slushy. Slushies tend to give me brain freeze. 

We all agreed that we would get them again. I may try the margarita just to see how it is. I do want to try one of the special game day cocktails in the future. They all have fun names. Stay tuned to see what game day cocktail I try next at the T-Rats
