Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups lemonade
- 1 cup ice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup (optional)
Berry Layers
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
Optional
- Natural food coloring (blue and purple) for more vibrant layers
Instructions
- Prepare Slushie Base: In a blender, combine the lemonade and ice. Blend until smooth to create a slushie base with an icy, smooth texture.
- Divide Base: Pour the blended mixture evenly into three separate bowls to prepare for distinct fruit layers.
- Make Blueberry Layer: Blend the frozen blueberries into the first bowl until smooth and deep blue in color, optionally adding blue food coloring for enhanced vibrancy.
- Make Blackberry Layer: Blend the frozen blackberries into the second bowl until smooth and purple in color, optionally adding purple food coloring to brighten the shade.
- Make Raspberry Layer: Blend the frozen raspberries into the third bowl until smooth and pink-red in hue.
- Assemble Slushie: Gently spoon each berry layer into a tall glass, starting with the darkest blue blueberry layer at the bottom, followed by the purple blackberry layer, topping with the raspberry pink-red layer to create a galaxy effect.
- Serve: Serve the slushie immediately with a straw and an optional lemon slice on the rim for garnish.
Notes
- Freeze glasses for 10 minutes before assembling to help keep the slushie cold longer.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey or simple syrup to taste, depending on the tartness of the berries.
- For an adult version, consider adding a splash of vodka or gin to the base mixture before blending.
