Print Recipe

A quick and easy frozen blue raspberry lemonade slushie that’s perfect for pool parties and hot summer days, balancing tartness and sweetness with icy refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen blue raspberries or blue raspberry syrup (or frozen regular raspberries with a drop of natural blue food coloring)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar, adjustable to taste (can substitute honey or agave syrup)
  • 3 cups (about 700 g) ice cubes
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water
  • Optional garnish: lemon slices or fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Roll lemons on the counter to soften, then cut and juice until you have about 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Optional: Dissolve ½ cup (100 g) sugar in ½ cup (120 ml) warm water to make simple syrup. Stir until completely dissolved. (3-4 minutes)
  3. Add lemon juice, blue raspberry frozen fruit or syrup, simple syrup or sugar, and 3 cups (700 g) ice cubes to the blender. Pour in ½ cup (120 ml) water to help blend smoothly.
  4. Pulse blender on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth slushie consistency. Stop and stir or shake blender jar if needed to push down ice chunks. Avoid over-blending to prevent watery texture.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice if needed, then blend briefly again.
  6. Serve immediately in tall glasses, garnished with lemon slices or fresh mint if desired.

Notes

Pulse blender in short bursts and stir between blends to maintain perfect slushie texture. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Freeze glasses beforehand or add extra ice cubes to keep slushie from melting too quickly. Can substitute sugar with honey, agave, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener for dietary preferences. Store leftovers in airtight container in freezer up to 2 days; re-blend before serving.
