Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup blue raspberry syrup adds color and flavor
  • 2 cups crushed ice for freezing and texture
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to enhance brightness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure out the blue raspberry syrup and pour it into the blender.
  2. Add the crushed ice to the blender, making sure to distribute it evenly over the syrup.
  3. Squeeze in the lemon juice for a fresh zing and flavor complexity.
  4. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, icy, and vibrant in color, about 30-40 seconds.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency—should be thick, slushy, and well-blended with no large ice chunks.
  6. Pour the slush into chilled glasses, letting the icy mixture mound attractively above the rim.
  7. Serve immediately with a colorful straw or garnish of fresh berries for an extra fun touch.

Notes

Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup. For a thicker consistency, add a few more ice cubes and blend again. Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal icy texture.
