FROZEN PARTY SLUSH RECIPE
I also love the bright fun red color ~
INGREDIENTS
- 1 14.5 oz can pineapple chunks with juice
- 1- 10 oz. jar maraschino cherries with juice
- 4 cups frozen whole strawberries
- 1/2 can frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 2-liter bottle of cherry 7-up or 7-up depending on your sweetness liking
- Optional: additional limes or maraschino cherries as garnish or to add to punch bowl.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add pineapple with juice, maraschino cherries with juice, frozen strawberries, orange juice concentrate and lime juice to a high-powered blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
- Transfer to a freezer safe container with lid or gallon sized freezer bag. If using container with lid place a piece of plastic wrap gently on top of mixture, softly pressing to remove air. Place lid on and freeze. If using gallon bag, seal bag removing air and freeze.
- Freeze for 6 to 8 hours or until frozen completely solid.
THAW & SERVE:
- Remove your frozen bag or container of slush from the freezer about 60-90 minutes before you plan to drink it. Use your hands to break up the slush in the bag a bit before opening it or use a knife to chop up the slush in the container.
- Transfer the slush to your punch bowl. Chop up any large chunks. Then add your cherry 7-up soda. Stir until slushy. Serve using a ladle into serving cups.
- Tip: Another fun option is to add 1 cup of frozen slush mixture to 6 individual large cups. Pour soda into each glass to make a fun slushy float-style drink.
