Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups lemonade chilled
  • 1 cup crushed ice or ice cubes crushed in a blender
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract optional, for a flavor twist
  • 2 tablespoons berry juice optional, for a fruity flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure the chilled lemonade and pour it into the blender.
  2. Add the crushed ice to the blender, creating a mixture that looks frosty and slightly slushy.
  3. Drop in the vanilla extract if using, which will add a subtle sweetness and aroma to the slushie.
  4. If you want a fruity twist, pour in the berry juice for a vibrant color and flavor boost.
  5. Secure the lid tightly on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and has a fluffy, icy consistency, about 30-45 seconds.
  6. Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be scoopable and crackly when you insert a spoon.
  7. Pour the slushie into glasses, allowing the icy, colorful mixture to overflow slightly for a tempting presentation.
  8. If desired, garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the refreshing, icy treat.
