When faced with 30-degree blazing heat there is no cure more satisfying than an icy, frostbound drink.
Whether you're a sun-seeker or a shade hogger, there's no denying it is HOT. Cue the desperate search for a discount fan and any store/shop/fast food joint with a decent air con system—for the record the Boots in Dalston has an excellent vent near the makeup section.
If you're planning a summer party or even a small get together, you're going to need something to quell the mouth drought brought on by July's record tempertures. Enter the Slush Puppy.
Originally created in 1970, this sugary American classic has few ingredients; ice and the syrup flavouring. When blended together the result is a slushy mixture of ice pellets and whatever flavour you deem worthy of its Arctic base.
And yes—you can add alcohol and make a mean margarita.
You can buy just the machine and purchase your own syrups separately, or go for the all-in-one option with the lip-licking Blue Raspberry and Red Cherry additions.
It only takes about 20 minutes to get one glacial litre of ice cold oblivion ready to be enjoyed.
And that folks is how you do summer.
