Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen blue raspberry fruit or flavored ice or frozen blue raspberry concentrate
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed for brightness
  • 1/2 cup water

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup is clear. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Pour the cooled syrup into your blender, then add the frozen blue raspberry fruit or flavored ice along with the lemon juice.
  3. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a slushy consistency that looks thick and vibrant blue.
  4. Check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash of water and blend briefly to loosen. If it’s too liquid, add a few more frozen berries and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the bright blue beverage to mound attractively with icy peaks.
  6. Serve immediately with a colorful straw or a garnish of fresh berries for visual pop and added fun.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add a few drops of blue raspberry extract. To make it dairy-free, skip creamy add-ins and stick to frozen fruits.
