Method

 

1. Pour the lemon-lime soda into a measuring cup and stir in the fruit juice and sweetener until well combined.
2. Mix gently to preserve some of the fizz, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, filling each cavity nearly to the top.
4. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, making sure they stand upright in the center.
5. Place the molds in the freezer and let them set for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen.
6. Once frozen, run warm water briefly over the outside of each mold to loosen the popsicles.
7. Gently pull out the popsicles from the molds and enjoy immediately, revealing icy, bubbling, citrus-flavored treats.

Notes

For extra fizz, re-insert popsicles into molds and briefly re-freeze if the mixture starts to lose carbonation during handling.

Next time the heat hits hard, forget heavy desserts or boring drinks. The Sprite slushie is a little burst of joy that needs no fancy equipment or ingredients. Just freeze, blend, and sip your way through summer’s finest moments.

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best. This icy sprint from pantry to mouth is proof that a little creativity can make the hottest days cooler and more playful. Here’s to many more chilled adventures in the fridge aisle—fizz guaranteed every time.
