Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) frozen blue raspberries
- 2 cups (480ml) ice cubes
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (120ml) cold water
- 2–3 drops blue food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Measure out 1 cup (150g) of frozen blue raspberries, 2 cups (480ml) of ice cubes, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 cup (120ml) cold water.
- Place frozen raspberries, ice cubes, sugar, lemon juice, and water into the blender jar. Add 2-3 drops of blue food coloring if desired.
- Start blending on low speed to break down the ice and frozen berries. Gradually increase to high speed, blending for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth but still slushy. Stop and stir if needed.
- Check consistency; if too thick, add a splash of cold water and blend briefly. If too thin, add more ice and pulse to thicken.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a teaspoon of sugar if desired, then pulse a few seconds more.
- Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a lemon slice if desired.
Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. If blender struggles with ice, crush ice separately before blending. Serve immediately for best icy texture. Leftovers can be stored in freezer up to 24 hours and refreshed by stirring or blending briefly.
