• 2 cups ice cubes coarsely crushed or whole

Method

 

1. Place the ice cubes into a blender, filling it halfway to allow space for blending.
2. Pour the chilled Gatorade over the ice, ensuring all the ice is covered for a well-blended slush.
3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture reaches a smooth, granular slushie consistency—about 1 to 2 minutes. You should hear the ice breaking down and see a vibrant, icy mixture forming.
4. Stop the blender and check the texture—if it’s too icy or chunky, blend a few more seconds until evenly slushy.
5. Pour the slushie into glasses, revealing a bright, cold, and crunchy frozen beverage.
6. Serve immediately with a straw or small spoon, enjoying the refreshing, tangy burst of flavor and icy crunch.

Plus, it’s a reminder that sometimes, the simplest drinks are the most memorable. Don’t underestimate the power of a quick freeze turned frosty treat in the heat. It’s your new go-to for those blistering days that demand nothing less than icy sweetness.
