Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) cherry coke (or any cherry-flavored soda)
- 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chilled water
Fruit Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (75 g) frozen cherries
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Chill your blender container to enhance the slushy texture and prevent rapid melting.
- Pour chilled Cherry Coke into the blender, ensuring the soda is cold for optimal consistency.
- Add crushed ice and frozen cherries, creating a base for a frosty, vibrant beverage.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice into the mixture to introduce a tangy brightness that cuts through the sweetness.
- Activate the blender and pulse initially to break down larger ice chunks, then blend on high speed until achieving a smooth, granular consistency.
- Check the slushie’s texture, ensuring no large ice crystals remain and the mixture is uniformly integrated.
- Select tall, chilled glasses to maintain the drink’s temperature and visual appeal.
- Carefully pour the slushy mixture, tilting the glass to prevent splashing and preserve the delicate texture.
- For an elegant finishing touch, delicately place a maraschino cherry atop each serving.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the drink at its peak refreshment, with the perfect balance of carbonation and icy smoothness.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of ice and liquid to achieve your preferred slushie thickness.
- Opt for diet Cherry Coke to reduce sugar content for a lighter version of the drink.
- Elevate the flavor by using fresh, ripe cherries instead of frozen for a more intense fruity taste.
- Transform this into an adult cocktail by adding a splash of rum or vodka for a boozy summer treat.
