A refreshing and easy-to-make blue raspberry lemonade slushie perfect for hot days, combining fresh lemon juice with blue raspberry syrup for a sweet-tart icy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh lemons
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) blue raspberry syrup (e.g., Torani or Monin)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold water
  • 4 cups (960 ml) crushed ice
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Roll the lemons on the counter to loosen juice, then cut in half and squeeze out about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove seeds to avoid bitterness. (Time: 5 minutes)
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, blue raspberry syrup (1/2 cup / 120 ml), granulated sugar (1/4 cup / 50 g), and cold water (2 cups / 480 ml). Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely. (Time: 3 minutes)
  3. If you don’t have crushed ice, pulse about 4 cups (960 ml) of ice cubes in your blender until roughly crushed but not melted. You want small chunks, not slush yet. (Time: 2-3 minutes)
  4. Pour half of the lemonade base into the blender, add half of the crushed ice, and pulse a few times until the mixture starts to look smooth and slushy. Repeat with the remaining lemonade and ice. (Time: 3-4 minutes)
  5. Pour the slushie into tall glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately for the best icy texture. (Time: 2 minutes)

Notes

Roll lemons before juicing to get more juice. Dissolve sugar completely before blending to avoid gritty texture. Pulse ice just enough to crush, avoid blending into liquid. Serve immediately for best texture. Store lemonade base separately if needed and blend with fresh ice before serving.
