Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Gatorade choose your favorite flavor
  • a pinch salt to enhance freezing
  • 1/4 cup soda carbonated beverage like lemon-lime or cola

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

  1. Pour the Gatorade into a shallow, freezer-safe container.
  2. Add a pinch of salt to the mixture and stir gently to combine evenly.
  3. Place the container in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, take it out and stir vigorously with a spoon to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process 2-3 times until the mixture becomes thick and slushy.
  4. Once the Gatorade has a icy, granular texture, pour the soda over the slushie base.
  5. Gently fold the soda into the slushie with a spoon, mixing just until combined and bubbly.
  6. Return the container to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes until fully frozen and scoopable.
  7. Remove the container from the freezer and use a spoon to scoop the icy, vibrant slushie into glasses.
  8. Enjoy immediately as a cool, chunky, and flavorful summer treat!
