Equipment
- Shallow baking dish or tray
- Fork
Ingredients
- 1 bottle Sprite chilled, about 12 oz
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed for brightness
- optional a few fresh mint leaves for garnish and flavor
- splash warm water warm water helps loosen the mixture if frozen too hard
Instructions
- Pour the chilled Sprite into a shallow baking dish, spreading it out evenly to maximize surface area for quick freezing.
- Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up ice crystals. You'll see it start to look slushy and slightly frosty.
- Return the dish to the freezer and repeat the stirring every 30 minutes, scraping and breaking up the crystals, until the mixture is evenly slushy and scoopable—about 3 to 4 times.
- Once the mixture reaches a vibrant, icy texture with a slight crunch, add the lemon juice and optional mint leaves, stirring gently to incorporate.
- If the mixture is too hard or icy, add a splash of warm water and stir to loosen the texture. This helps achieve that perfect scoopable consistency.
- Serve immediately, using a spoon or scoop to dish out the slushie into glasses. Garnish with mint leaves if desired for a fresh herbal note.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a splash of fruit juice or a few berries before freezing. Always serve immediately after the final stir for the best icy crunch.
