Gatorade Slushie
This Gatorade slushie is a refreshing frozen treat that combines bright, flavored Gatorade with icy textures for a nostalgic summer drink. The process involves freezing Gatorade in a shallow dish and periodically scraping it to create a fluffy, semi-frozen slush. Topped with a splash of lemon or berries, it’s a fun, customizable way to beat the heat with a burst of flavor and coolness.
