Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup blue raspberry syrup preferably concentrated
  • 2 cups crushed ice store-bought or crush your own
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice adds brightness

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. Pre-freeze the crushed ice in your freezer for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly icy and firm.
  2. Pour the blue raspberry syrup into a blender, adding the lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  3. Add the crushed ice to the blender bowl, dividing it evenly for a chilled, icy mixture.
  4. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until the ice is broken down into a smooth, slushy texture with a vibrant blue color.
  5. Check the consistency; if it's too thick, add a splash of cold water and blend briefly to loosen it.
  6. Pour the icy slushie into chilled glasses or bowls, letting the vivid blue foam spill over slightly for a visually appealing presentation.
  7. Garnish with a lemon wedge or a sprig of mint if desired, then serve immediately to enjoy the frosty, tangy delight.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of natural raspberry juice or a dash of citric acid. Remember to pre-chill your ingredients for a faster blending process.
