Equipment
Method
- Start by ensuring your soda has been frozen solid overnight in the freezer. This helps create a thick, icy slush when blended.
- Pour the chilled, frozen soda into your blender, taking care to avoid spilling as it’s very cold and slightly frosty to the touch.
- Add the caramel syrup to the blender, pouring it over the soda. The caramel will swirl and give a rich aroma as it combines.
- Squeeze in the fresh lemon or lime juice to add a bright, citrusy note that balances the sweetness.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender to boost the icy texture and make the mixture extra frosty.
- Cover the blender securely and blend everything on high for about 30-40 seconds until the mixture is thick, frosty, and visibly slushy with tiny ice crystals.
- Uncover the blender and check the texture—if it’s too runny, add a few more ice cubes and blend briefly again for extra chill.
- Scoop the vibrant, icy slush into glasses or cups, letting it mound slightly over the rim for visual appeal.
- Garnish with a twist of citrus or a drizzle of additional caramel syrup if desired, for a decorative finish.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the cold, fizzy, and sweet-tangy flavor profile.
Notes
For a less sweet version, reduce the caramel syrup. Feel free to experiment with other flavored syrups or add fresh herbs for extra aroma.
