Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chilled soda (preferably lemon-lime or citrus-flavored) pre-frozen overnight for best slush consistency
  • 2 tbsp caramel syrup for sweetness and rich flavor
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice adds tang and brightness
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Glass or serving cup

Method
 

  1. Start by ensuring your soda has been frozen solid overnight in the freezer. This helps create a thick, icy slush when blended.
  2. Pour the chilled, frozen soda into your blender, taking care to avoid spilling as it’s very cold and slightly frosty to the touch.
  3. Add the caramel syrup to the blender, pouring it over the soda. The caramel will swirl and give a rich aroma as it combines.
  4. Squeeze in the fresh lemon or lime juice to add a bright, citrusy note that balances the sweetness.
  5. Add the ice cubes to the blender to boost the icy texture and make the mixture extra frosty.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Scoop the vibrant, icy slush into glasses or cups, letting it mound slightly over the rim for visual appeal.
  9. Garnish with a twist of citrus or a drizzle of additional caramel syrup if desired, for a decorative finish.
  10. 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.
