Rhubarb Slush with Vodka

For the cocktail: Combine ice, 3-4 tablespoons of bluebarb simple syrup, (I added 1 tablespoon of the bluebarb simple syrup pulp to give the slush texture, plus it looks cool *optional) and 1 1/2 ounces of your favorite vodka into a blender and pulse until you and nice slush consistency.
