Slushie
A fun and frosty non-alcoholic beverage with a delightful icy, semi-frozen texture, made by blending fruit juice or flavored syrup with ice. It's a sweet and cooling treat perfect for hot weather.
Combine ingredients in blender
In a blender, combine 1 cup (150g) frozen fruit, 0.5 cup (120 ml) fruit juice, and 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar or simple syrup (if using). If you prefer an even thicker slushie, add 0.5 cup (75g) ice cubes.
💡 Tips:
- •Using mostly frozen fruit creates a creamier, less icy slushie. Adjust sweetener based on the sweetness of your fruit and juice.
Blend until smooth and slushy
Secure the lid and blend on high speed, pulsing as needed, until the mixture reaches a smooth, consistent, and slushy texture. You may need to stop and stir or use a tamper to push ingredients down.
💡 Tips:
- •Avoid over-blending, which can melt the ice and make the slushie too watery. Blend just until desired consistency is achieved.
Serve immediately
Pour the slushie into a chilled glass. Garnish with 1 fruit slice, if desired. Serve immediately with a spoon or wide straw.
💡 Tips:
- •Slushies are best enjoyed immediately before they melt.
- 💡Experiment with different fruit combinations, like strawberry-banana or peach-mango.
- 💡For a tangier slushie, add a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice.
- 💡You can use soda instead of juice for a soda-flavored slushie (e.g., cola or lemon-lime soda).
- 💡For a more vibrant color, you can add a drop of natural food coloring (e.g., beet juice for red).
