In a blender, combine the cooled sugar syrup, lemon juice, vodka, remaining 2 cups of water, and ice cubes.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and slushy.
Pour the Vodka Lemon Slush into chilled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a couple of mint leaves, if desired.
