Ingredients

  

• 1 cup blue raspberry syrup preferably concentrated
• 2 cups crushed ice preferably fine or pebble ice

Method

 

1. Measure out the blue raspberry syrup and set it aside.

3. Add the measured blue raspberry syrup over the ice in the blender.
4. Pour in the fresh lemon juice to enhance the tartness and brighten the flavor.
5. Secure the lid on the blender, then blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy, about 30-45 seconds. You should hear a crunching sound and see a vibrant blue mixture with tiny ice particles.
