Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups lemonade or fruit juice (chilled)
- 3 cups ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness of juice)
- as needed fresh fruit slices or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients and ensure the fruit juice or lemonade is chilled for best results.
2. Add the lemonade or fruit juice to a high-powered blender.
3. Add the ice cubes to the blender. Start with 2 cups of ice if you prefer a thinner slushie, or use 3 cups for a thicker consistency.
4. If desired, add the granulated sugar to the blender to sweeten your slushie. Skip this step if your juice or lemonade is already sweet enough.
5. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and reaches the desired slushie consistency, usually about 30-60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
6. Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness or consistency if necessary by adding more sugar, juice, or ice.
7. Pour the slushie into two glasses and garnish with fresh fruit slices or mint leaves, if desired.
8. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy your refreshing frozen slushie!
