Strawberry Slush Drink
There’s nothing quite as refreshing as a Strawberry Slush Drink on a warm day—bursting with sweet, tangy strawberry flavor and a frosty, velvety texture that melts on your tongue. With just 8 hours of prep (mostly hands-off freezing) and 3 minutes of blending, it’s an effortless treat that feels indulgent yet light, at only 158 calories per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 6 cups water
- 2 (3 ounce) jello, strawberry
- 46 ounces pineapple juice
- ⅔ cup lemon juice
- 4 cups orange juice
- 2 liter Sprite
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water, and jell-o. Boil for 3 minutes.
- Stir in pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice.
- Divide mixture into two separate containers (I use gallon-sized Ziploc bags) and freeze for at least 8 hours (it can store in the freezer for a long time, but if you want the "slushy" consistency, you will want to keep it in the freezer for at least 8 hours).
- If it is frozen solid, I usually pull it out of the freezer about 2 hours before I need to use it so that it can thaw a little bit.
- When ready to serve, place the slushy contents of the bag into a punch bowl and stir in a 2 liter of Sprite with it (if you need to serve a lot of people, you can add a second 2-liter of Sprite and it will still taste good).
- I like to slice up some fresh strawberries and throw them into the punch bowl.
- Serve immediately.
