Cherry Slurpee

By nperry1006

Ingredients

• 2 cups cold club soda
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp cherry flavored unsweetened Kool-Aid mix
• 1/2 tsp cherry extract
• 2 1/2 cups crushed ice

Preparation

Step 1

Pour 1 cup of the club soda into a blender. Add the sugar, Kool-Aid mix and cherry extract. Blend this until all of the sugar is dissolved.

Add the crushed ice and blend on high speed until the drink is a slushy, smooth consistency, with no remaining chunks of ice.

Add the remaining club soda and blend briefly until mixed. You may have to stop the blender and use a long spoon to stir up the contents.

If necessary, put the blender into your freezer for 1/2 hour. This will help thicken it up. After 1/2 hour, remove blender from freezer and again, blend briefly to mix.

Makes one 32 oz drink (or 2 16 oz)
