Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 16 oz cola soda chilled
  • 1 cup crushed ice ice preferably crushed or small ice chunks
  • optional sugar or syrup for extra sweetness, if desired

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Measuring Cups
  • Tall Glass or Serving Cup

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled cola soda into a large mixing bowl or a blender jar.
  2. Add the crushed ice to the cola, then briefly pulse the blender or stir vigorously to combine. Aim for a slushy consistency, with ice evenly dispersed and starting to freeze slightly around the edges.
  3. If using a blender, pulse in short bursts until the mixture is uniformly slushy and icy. If stirring by hand, use a spoon to break up any large ice chunks, ensuring the mixture is cold and slightly frosty.
  4. Once the mixture reaches a granular, semi-frozen texture, transfer it into a tall glass or serving cup. You want the texture to be thick but spoonable, with ice crystals visible throughout.
  5. If desired, add a drizzle of syrup or a small sprinkle of sugar to enhance sweetness. Gently stir to combine just before serving.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the icy, fizzy sensation that’s perfect for hot days or nostalgic cravings.
Whether you’re cooling down after a long day or just craving a playful twist on your favorite soda, this Coke Slushie has you covered. It’s easy, fun, and endlessly customizable with your favorite flavors and add-ins.

As the season heats up, there’s nothing quite like the chilly rush of a homemade slushie. Keep a few cans in the freezer—on standby for those spontaneous sweet escapes.
