Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cola soda chilled and well-frozen
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • to taste sugar syrup or sweetener optional, add if extra sweetness desired

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Place the chilled cola soda in the freezer for at least 2 hours until thoroughly frozen—it should be solid and slushy when you check.
  2. Add the frozen cola and ice cubes to the blender bowl. If you like it sweeter, include a splash of sugar syrup or a sweetener now.
  3. Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is slushy, smooth, and icy with a bubbly appearance. You should hear a whirling sound and see a frosty texture form.
  4. Stop blending once the mixture is creamy and has a fine, icy texture—avoid over-blending to keep some crunch in the slushie.
  5. Pour the slushie into glasses, watching the icy, bubbly mixture swirl into a frosty mound.
  6. If desired, garnish with a straw or a slice of lemon to add a zingy aroma and bright flavor.
  7. Serve immediately for the best icy crunch and fizzy refreshment. Enjoy your homemade cola slushie!

Notes

Make sure to freeze the cola thoroughly beforehand to achieve the best slushie texture. Adjust sweetness by adding syrup if needed. For extra flavor, experiment with different soda varieties like cherry or vanilla.
