Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer slushie combining tart fresh lemon juice with sweet blue raspberry syrup for a vibrant, icy, and refreshing drink perfect for parties and hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh lemons, juiced (about ½ cup or 120 ml fresh lemon juice)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) blue raspberry syrup (e.g., Torani or Monin)
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold water
  • 4 cups (about 1 liter) ice cubes, crushed or cubed
  • Optional garnish: fresh lemon slices or mint sprigs

Instructions

  1. Roll each lemon on the counter to loosen the juice, then cut in half and use a citrus juicer to extract about ½ cup (120 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds. (5 minutes)
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, ½ cup (120 ml) blue raspberry syrup, ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar, and 2 cups (480 ml) cold water. Stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. (3 minutes)
  3. Pour the lemon mixture into a high-speed blender, add about 4 cups (1 liter) of ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy, about 1-2 minutes. If blender struggles, pulse and stir, then repeat. (3-5 minutes)
  4. Pour the slushie into tall glasses and garnish with a lemon slice or a sprig of mint. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Pulse blending helps maintain icy texture. Adjust ice quantity for desired thickness but avoid overloading blender. Garnish with lemon slices or mint for extra freshness. Can substitute sugar with natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit. For a creamy twist, add ½ cup coconut or almond milk before blending. Adult version can include a splash of vodka or rum after blending.
