Method
- 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.
- Pour the cooled syrup into your blender, then add the frozen blue raspberry fruit or flavored ice along with the lemon juice.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a slushy consistency that looks thick and vibrant blue.
- 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.
- Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the bright blue beverage to mound attractively with icy peaks.
- 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.
