Texas frozen drink recipes for your party machine
Make Texas frozen drink recipes in a rented machine: Texas Blue Bonnet, Hurricane, Electric Lemonade, and more batch recipes, plus Texas party serving ideas.
Texas frozen drink recipes like the Texas Blue Bonnet, Hurricane, and Electric Lemonade each start with one bottle of our mix, batched in a jug with alcohol and water, then poured into the machine. These are house recipes from our recipe book, so the amounts below match what we publish.
How a batch recipe works
Each recipe makes one batch for one bowl. Mix it in a clean jug, stir well, and pour it into the machine. It takes 2 to 3 hours to freeze the first batch, and you don't need ice. You provide the alcohol and water. For the full set, including the classic margarita, see our frozen drink machine recipes.

Texas party serving ideas
Game day
Run a lime margarita in one bowl and a Blue Lemon Gold margarita or blue raspberry slushie in the other, then match your cups to the team colors. See our Texas football watch party drinks for more.
Backyard barbecue
Pair a Hurricane or lime margarita with brisket, sausage, and smoked chicken. A Tajín rim on a mango or watermelon bowl goes well with smoky food.
Red, white, and blue
Put Cherry Bomb in one bowl and Blue Rush or blue raspberry slushie in the other for a red and blue machine. Top cups with whipped cream for the white.
Western and rodeo themes
Serve Texas Blue Bonnet and Electric Lemonade in mason jars with bandana napkins, and set out a rim station with Lime Margarita Salt and Sweet Heat Cocktail Sugar.
Kids at the party
Every mix is alcohol-free until you add alcohol. Run blue raspberry or lemonade as a slushie for kids, and label each bowl. Our mocktails and kids slushies hub has more ideas.
Drink responsibly
Plan rides home, serve water and food, and keep adult bowls labeled and out of kids' reach.
