Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup blue raspberry juice preferably natural or high-quality concentrate
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed for brightness
  • 1 tablespoon honey adjust to taste, optional
  • 1 cup ice or frozen berries crushed ice or pre-frozen berries for texture
  • for garnish fresh berries or mint optional, for visual appeal

Instructions

  • Pour the blue raspberry juice into your blender. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of honey for a balanced tang and sweetness.
  • Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and vibrant in color, with a fragrant fruity aroma.
  • Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tartness if needed by adding more honey or lemon, then blend briefly to incorporate.
  • Pour the blended liquid into a shallow dish, spreading it evenly for quick freezing.
  • Place the dish in the freezer and freeze for about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork or spoon to break up ice crystals and maintain a slushy consistency.
  • Once the mixture is frozen and has a thick, icy, almost creamy texture, scoop it into glasses.
  • Garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint for a pop of color and extra freshness.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the cold, tangy burst of this vibrant blue raspberry slushie.

Notes

For an extra icy texture, use pre-frozen berries or crushed ice. Stir every 30 minutes during freezing to prevent large ice crystals from forming. Adjust sweetness based on your preference for a perfectly refreshing treat.
