Frozen Mint Lemonade
From Athens Locally Grown
<p>Quick and easy, and enjoyed by all ages. This is a great healthy alternative to those frozen slushies with their artificial colors and flavors. (For an adults-only party, it also makes a great cocktail; just add 2 oz. of vodka or rum.)</p>Source: My own recipe, but as simple as it is, I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with it.
