Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh or frozen strawberries
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water or club soda
- 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse fresh strawberries and remove stems. For frozen, no need to thaw — just measure out about 1 cup (150 grams).
- Roll limes on the counter to soften, then cut and juice to get 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lime juice. Strain out seeds if desired.
- Add strawberries, lime juice, sugar, cold water or club soda, and ice cubes to a high-speed blender.
- Pulse on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and thick slushie texture is achieved. Stop and scrape down sides if needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more sugar, lime juice, or ice as desired. Blend briefly again if needed.
- Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a strawberry on the rim, insert straws, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for best icy texture without diluting flavor. Fresh lime juice is preferred for brightness. Pulse blender in short bursts to avoid melting ice. Chill glasses before serving to keep drink cold longer. Can substitute sugar with honey, agave, or natural sweeteners. For a fizzy version, use club soda instead of water.
