Sprite Slushie
A refreshing, fizzy slushie made by blending lemon-lime soda with crushed ice, creating a bubbly, icy treat perfect for hot days. The texture is thick and frosty, with lively bubbles and a bright citrus flavor that feels both nostalgic and invigorating.
Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups/spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sprite or Lemon-Lime Soda chilled
- 1 cup crushed ice preferably finely crushed
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional, for extra sweetness
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice brightens flavor
- a pinch salt enhances flavors
Instructions
- Pour the chilled sprite into the blender, filling about two-thirds of the jar.
- Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for brightness and a teaspoon of sugar if you'd like it sweeter.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the mixture to boost the overall flavor.
- Drop in the crushed ice, starting with about half a cup, aiming for a fine, snow-like consistency.
- Secure the lid and blend on high for about 20 seconds, until the mixture is frothy, bubbly, and thickened.
- Pause to check the texture; if it’s too runny, add more crushed ice and pulse briefly. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash of soda and blend gently.
- Pour the frosty slushie into chilled glasses immediately to enjoy the lively bubbles and icy crunch.
- Garnish with a lemon wedge or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve right away for the best fizzy, icy experience.
Notes
Serve immediately for maximum fizz and icy texture. Adjust the amount of ice for desired thickness.
