Ingredients

Scale

Slushie Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 1 cup cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse and hull fresh strawberries, then chop them into smaller pieces to ensure smooth blending and maximum flavor release.
  2. Mix Lemonade Base: In a bowl or pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice with sugar or your chosen sweetener and water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a balanced tart and sweet base.
  3. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the chopped strawberries, lemonade mixture, and plenty of ice cubes. Blend until a smooth, slushy consistency is achieved.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the slushie and modify sweetness or lemon juice as desired to suit your taste preferences.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the slushie into chilled glasses and garnish with a fresh strawberry, lemon peel twist, or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of flair. Enjoy right away for best texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries to achieve a thicker slush without adding extra ice.
  • Start with less sugar and add more after blending to balance sweetness.
  • Always use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor; avoid bottled juice.
  • Pulse blend to control texture and avoid over-blending.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the icy texture before it melts.
