Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of frozen raspberries, 1/2 cup of lemonade, and a handful of ice cubes. Make sure your frozen raspberries are well-frozen to achieve the slushie texture.
- In a blender, combine the frozen raspberries and lemonade. This will create a sweet and tangy base for your slushie.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. The amount of ice can be adjusted based on how thick or slushy you want your drink to be.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Taste the slushie and adjust the sweetness or tartness if necessary. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little sugar or honey and blend again.
- Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the slushie into two glasses. You can garnish with a few whole raspberries or a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy your refreshing raspberry lemonade slushie!
Tips
- Frozen Raspberry Secret: Always use fully frozen raspberries to achieve the ideal slushy texture. If your raspberries aren't frozen, spread them on a tray and freeze for at least 2 hours before blending.
- Ice Cube Trick: Experiment with the number of ice cubes to customize your slushie's consistency. More ice means a thicker, more granita-like texture.
- Sweetness Balance: Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a touch of honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup if needed. Different lemonades vary in sweetness.
- Blending Technique: Pulse the blender initially to break down large ice chunks, then blend on high for a smooth consistency.
- Serving Suggestion: Chill your glasses beforehand for an extra-cool presentation and to keep the slushie from melting too quickly.
