Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen cherries pitted and stemmed
  • 1 cup citrus juice (lemon or lime) freshly squeezed preferred
  • 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure out the frozen cherries and place them into the blender.
  2. Add freshly squeezed citrus juice to the cherries in the blender.
  3. Pour in the honey or simple syrup to sweeten the mixture naturally.
  4. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, about 30-45 seconds. You should hear a consistent whir and see the mixture turn a vibrant red.
  5. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash of additional citrus juice or water and blend briefly until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Pour the icy cherry slushie into glasses, allowing the vibrant color and frosty texture to show off the final look.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw or garnish with a fresh cherry or citrus wedge for a fun touch.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different citrus or sweeteners to suit your taste. Using frozen cherries ensures a thick, icy texture without needing extra ice. For an extra flavor boost, add a splash of vanilla or a sprig of fresh mint.
