Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pitted cherries
- 2 cups chilled lemonade
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Ensure your cherries are pitted and frozen for at least 2 hours. Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine the frozen cherries, chilled lemonade, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushie-like, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of cold water and blend again.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the slushie into glasses and serve right away. Garnish with fresh cherries or a lemon slice if desired.
Notes
Pro Tips: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy cherries and freshly squeezed lemonade. If your lemonade is too tart, add a teaspoon of honey to balance the flavors. Freeze the cherries for at least 2 hours to ensure a slushie texture. Stir the mixture halfway through freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Variations: Add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist. Swap cherries for strawberries or raspberries for a different fruity flavor. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
