Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cherry coke (regular or diet), chilled
- 1 cup (237 ml) crushed ice
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ cup (118 ml) frozen cherries (optional, for extra cherry flavor)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) grenadine syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Garnish:
- Fresh cherries (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the blending vessel by adding chilled Cherry Coke, creating a cold base for the slushie.
- Drop crushed ice into the blender, ensuring optimal texture and frostiness.
- Incorporate frozen cherries if desired, which will enhance the fruity profile and provide additional thickness.
- Pour grenadine syrup into the mixture to intensify the cherry flavor and create a vibrant color.
- Activate the blender and pulse until the ingredients transform into a smooth, homogeneous slushie consistency.
- Evaluate the texture, adding more Cherry Coke if the mixture appears too dense, or supplementing with extra ice if too liquid.
- Continue blending until achieving the perfect slushy equilibrium with a balanced, pourable consistency.
- Select serving glasses and carefully transfer the crimson slushie, allowing the liquid to cascade smoothly.
- Elevate the presentation by adorning the drink with fresh cherries or a zesty lime wedge garnish.
- Equip each glass with a wide straw or spoon to facilitate easy consumption of the frosty beverage.
- Consume immediately to maximize the refreshing effervescence and icy temperature.
Notes
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the slushie frosty and prevent rapid melting.
- Use freshly crushed ice for the best texture and smoothest consistency.
- Experiment with sugar-free Cherry Coke for a lower-calorie version that still delivers full flavor.
- For a boozy adult twist, add a splash of rum or cherry liqueur to transform the slushie into a cocktail.
