Ingredients
Scale
Slushie Base
- 2 cups lemonade
- 1 cup ice
Fruit and Flavor Enhancers
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup frozen blackberries
- 1/2 teaspoon edible shimmer dust (silver or pearl)
Optional Color and Garnish
- A few drops blue food coloring (optional)
- A few drops purple food coloring (optional)
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
- Star-shaped sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Slushie Base: In a blender, combine 2 cups of lemonade with 1 cup of ice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and achieves a slushy consistency.
- Divide Mixture: Pour the blended lemonade slush evenly into three small bowls to prepare different color layers.
- Add Flavor and Color: To the first bowl, add a few frozen blueberries and a drop of blue food coloring; stir gently. In the second bowl, add frozen blackberries with a drop of purple food coloring; stir lightly. Leave the third bowl plain for a contrasting layer.
- Add Shimmer: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of edible shimmer dust evenly across all three bowls and stir lightly to incorporate the shimmer for a galaxy effect.
- Layer Slush in Glass: Using a clear glass, carefully spoon each slushie color layer one at a time to create a beautiful galaxy appearance. Swirl gently with a straw or skewer to marble the colors together.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh lemon slices and star-shaped sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately with a straw for a fun and refreshing drink experience.
Notes
- Use natural food coloring for a softer, pastel galaxy effect if preferred.
- For extra tang, add a splash of lime juice to the lemonade before blending.
- This slushie is caffeine-free and kid-friendly, making it ideal for summer parties and themed events.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and appearance.
