Serves: 2-3

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Freeze Time: 4-6 hours (or overnight)


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Coca-Cola (or your favorite cola)
  • 1/2 cup cherry juice (or grenadine for a sweeter option)
  • 1/4 cup white rum (optional, omit for a non-alcoholic version)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Freeze the Base

  1. Pour the Coca-Cola into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid, about 4-6 hours or overnight.
    • Tip: If you’re short on time, use store-bought frozen cola cubes or partially freeze the liquid before blending.
    • Step 2: Blend the Slushie

  1. In a blender, combine the frozen Coca-Cola cubes, cherry juice (or grenadine), white rum (if using), and fresh ice cubes.
  2. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of cola or cherry juice to loosen it. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.

Step 3: Serve and Garnish

  1. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses.
  2. Garnish each glass with a maraschino cherry and a lime wedge for a pop of color and extra flavor.
  3. Serve immediately with straws and enjoy responsibly!

Tips for Success:

  • Make it kid-friendly: Skip the rum and use extra cherry juice or grenadine for a sweet, alcohol-free version.
  • Experiment with flavors: Swap cherry juice for other fruit juices like pineapple, orange, or cranberry for a fun twist.
  • Batch prep: Double or triple the recipe and blend in batches for larger gatherings.
  • Keep it icy: Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving to keep the slushie cold longer.
