Lime-Lemongrass Slushies

This tart-sweet frosty slushy is one of cookbook author Leela Punyaratabandhu’s favorite things to drink with just about any Thai dish, though it would be welcome at any summer cookout. Try to seek out whole lemongrass stalks that have the meatier bulbous parts near the root ends intact; you can find them in some grocery stores and most well-stocked Asian markets. Pair this with Leela’s summery menu for Grilled Pork Shoulder Steaks With Green Pepper Relish, Khao Niao (Thai Sticky Rice), Cantaloupe With Spicy Bacon-Cashew Crumble, Cucumber, Tomato, and Green Bean Salad, and Grilled Scallops With Peach Sweet Chili Sauce.
