Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (remove seeds)
  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries thoroughly, then squeeze enough lemons to yield about half a cup of juice—removing any seeds to keep the texture smooth.
  2. Blend the Fruit and Lemon Juice: Place the strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar or simple syrup in a blender. Blend on medium speed until you get a smooth, vibrant mixture.
  3. Add Ice and Water: Add ice cubes and a splash of water to the blender, then pulse until you achieve your desired slushie consistency—chunky and refreshing, not overly watery.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Give your slushie a quick taste. If it feels too tart, add a bit more sugar or sweetener. If too thick, add a small amount of water for easier sipping.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the slushie into tall glasses and garnish as desired, serving frozen for ultimate refreshment.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for the best sweetness and juiciness.
  • Chill your lemons beforehand to keep the drink colder longer.
  • Don’t skip blending the ice to achieve the perfect slushie texture.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid overpowering the natural flavors.
  • Use a powerful blender to create a smooth and uniform texture quickly.
