HOW DO YOU MAKE WINE SLUSHIES?
You can make wine slushies with your blender, fresh or frozen fruit and a complementary wine. Some wine slushie recipes call for creating wine ice cubes first, while others just involve adding the wine to your blender with your other ingredients, like frozen fruit.
Experiment with recipes like Watermelon Wine Slushies and homemade Frose.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A SLUSHIE WITH SODA?
Easily make a soda slushie by freezing your favorite soda or using it as an ingredient in your blended slushie recipe. Some recipes may call for freezing the soda in an ice cube tray and then blending.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A FRUIT SLUSHIE?
Using your blender to create delicious fruit slushies is simple. Add your liquid ingredients first, followed by your frozen ingredients. Using frozen fruit may give your slushies the perfect texture, but fresh fruit can add extra flavor and liquid if needed. Blend your ingredients to your desired consistency and enjoy.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A WATERMELON SLUSHIE?
Watermelon slushies are a refreshing addition to your summer spread. Start by pureéing watermelon in a blender until it’s smooth. Pour the watermelon into a shallow container and freeze it overnight. The next day, allow the watermelon to thaw slightly and then rake it with a fork to help create a slushie texture or blend the pureé.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A STRAWBERRY SLUSHIE?
Combine a few squeezes of lemon juice, 2-3 cups of hulled and halved strawberries, a tablespoon or two of agave or a sweetener of your choice and ice in a blender. Begin with one cup of ice and add more as needed. Blend until the strawberry slushies reach your desired consistency and enjoy.
HOW DO YOU MAKE SLUSHIES WITH JUICE?
You can blend your favorite juice with ice to create juice slushies. Try this idea with lemonade or fruit juice, and add agave or honey to sweeten, if desired. You can also try making juice slushies with water and juice or lemonade concentrate.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A SLUSHIE WITHOUT A BLENDER?
Even without a blender, you can still create delicious slushies. Try pouring your slushie mixture into a shallow baking dish and raking it with a fork once semi-frozen to achieve a slushie texture. Alternatively, you can freeze your mixture in ice cube trays, then put the ice cubes into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
You can also make unique slushie recipes with a hand blender such as the KitchenAid® Cordless Variable Speed Hand Blender. Or, for a similar treat, try using the KitchenAid® Shave Ice attachment to create fluffy sheets of ice flavored with your favorite syrups.
TIPS FOR MAKING SLUSHIES AT HOME
Whether you are making spiked slushies for a crowd or Tropical Fruit Slushies for your family to enjoy, the perfect slushie has the right consistency and the right flavor. Follow these tips to help you make delicious slushies no matter the occasion.
Use a blender that is strong enough to power through your frozen ingredients and help you create the texture you are looking for.
Avoid overfilling the blender. When the blender is too full it can be challenging to fully mix the ingredients and blend them consistently.
Start by blending slowly and gradually increase the speed. This will help you avoid over-blending.
Add your liquid ingredients first, followed by your soft ingredients like powders and sweeteners and finish with your frozen ingredientsand ice.
Serve your slushies immediately after mixing.
