Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup blue raspberry syrup preferably concentrated
  • 2 cups crushed ice preferably fine or pebble ice
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice adds brightness and balance

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Measure out the blue raspberry syrup and set it aside.
  2. Pour the crushed ice into your blender, filling it about halfway.
  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.
  6. Check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice and blend briefly to loosen it. If it’s too thin, add a bit more crushed ice and blend again.
  7. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the icy mixture to mound slightly above the rim.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the crunchy, cold texture that’s perfect for a hot day.

Notes

For a more intense blue color, add a drop of blue food coloring. Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of syrup.
