Equipment

▢
Blender
▢
Measuring spoons & cups

Ingredients

▢ 1/2 cup blue raspberry syrup
▢ 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
▢ 2 cups ice crushed or broken into chunks
▢ 1/4 cup water or lemon soda for thinning and fizz

Instructions

Pour the blue raspberry syrup into the blender and add the fresh lemon juice.
Add the ice cubes to the blender, breaking them into chunks if needed.
Pour in the water or lemon soda to help thin the mixture and add a fizzy touch.
Burst the blender on high and blend for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is icy, vibrant, and slightly granular in texture.
Stop the blender and check the consistency; it should hold its shape but be powdery and easy to crush with a spoon.
If it’s too runny, add a handful more ice and blend again until thickened; if too thick, add a splash more water or soda and blend briefly.
Pour the icy mixture into glasses, garnish with a straw or extra syrup if desired, and serve immediately for the best granular, snow-like texture.

Notes

For a more intense blue color, add a few drops of blue food coloring. Adjust sweetness by varying the syrup or adding more lemon juice for extra tartness.
