Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade summer drink that balances tart blue raspberry flavor with icy texture, perfect for all ages and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) blue raspberry syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 3 cups (about 700 g) crushed ice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (12–25 g) sugar (optional, can substitute with honey or agave syrup)
  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Squeeze fresh lemon juice using your juicer until you have about 2 tablespoons (30 ml). Measure out the blue raspberry syrup and cold water. If using sugar, have it ready.
  2. If you don’t have crushed ice, place about 3 cups (700 g) of ice cubes into a clean towel or a plastic bag. Gently tap with a mallet or rolling pin until the ice breaks into small pieces but not powdery.
  3. In your blender, combine the blue raspberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, cold water, and sugar (if using). Blend on low for 10-15 seconds to mix everything evenly.
  4. Toss in the crushed ice and pulse the blender 6-8 times. You want the ice to mix in but still have a slushy texture—not completely liquefied. Stop and check after every few pulses.
  5. Taste your slushie. If it’s too tart, add a little more syrup or sugar and pulse a couple more times. If it’s too thick, add a splash of cold water and blend briefly.
  6. Pour into tall glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use crushed ice instead of cubes for best texture. Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor. Pulse the blender to avoid over-blending and watery slush. Chill glasses before serving for longer-lasting coldness. The base can be prepared ahead and refrigerated without ice for up to 24 hours.
