  1. Gather all ingredients and measure out the rum, citrus juice, simple syrup, and water.
  2. Add the rum, fresh citrus juice, simple syrup, and water into the blender.
  3. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
  5. Place the container in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
  6. Once the slushie reaches a thick, icy consistency after about 4 hours, scrape the mixture with a fork to break up the ice and serve immediately in glasses.

For an extra flavor twist, add a splash of fruit juice or garnish with citrus slices before serving.
