Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) coca-cola (regular or diet)
- 2 cups (473 ml) ice cubes
- 1 cup (237 ml) frozen cherries
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cherry syrup (optional)
Garnish:
- Fresh cherries (optional)
Instructions
- Combine chilled Coca-Cola, frozen cherries, and ice cubes directly into a high-powered blender.
- Activate the blender and pulse on high speed until the ingredients transform into a velvety, homogeneous slush with no visible ice chunks.
- Sample the mixture and assess its sweetness, incorporating additional cherry syrup if a more intense fruity flavor is desired.
- Briefly re-blend to ensure thorough integration of the cherry syrup throughout the slushie.
- Transfer the vibrant crimson slush into chilled serving glasses, creating an attractive presentation.
- Optional: Crown each glass with a scattering of fresh whole or halved cherries as a decorative and delectable garnish.
- Serve the frozen concoction immediately to preserve its refreshing, icy texture and prevent melting.
Notes
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the slushie colder for longer and prevent rapid melting.
- Adjust cherry intensity by using more or less frozen cherries based on personal preference for fruity flavor.
- Use sugar-free Coca-Cola and sugar-free cherry syrup for a lower-calorie version that still delivers incredible taste.
- Experiment with different frozen fruits like strawberries or raspberries to create unique slushy variations and explore exciting flavor combinations.
