Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cold soda (lemon-flavored or lemon-lime) preferably slightly fizzy
  • 1 cup crushed ice adjust based on desired thickness
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice adds citrus brightness
  • 1 tsp sugar syrup or simple syrup to balance tartness, optional

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker or large jug
  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tall glasses

Method
 

  1. Pour the cold soda into a large cocktail shaker or jug and add the lemon juice and sugar syrup. Gently stir or swirl to combine, allowing the citrus and sweetness to mingle with the fizzy soda.
  2. Add the crushed ice to the flavored soda mixture. This prepares you for blending and helps achieve the slushie consistency.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a blender jar and blend on high until the ice is finely crushed and the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the blended slushie into tall glasses, filling them almost to the top, and watch as the icy, bubbly texture fills your glass.
  5. Optional: garnish each glass with a thin lemon slice or a sprig of mint for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw, enjoying the icy, fizzy sensation with every sip.

Notes

For a sweeter or more tart flavor, adjust the lemon or sugar syrup to taste. You can also substitute different citrus juices for variety.
