Gatorade Slushie

This Gatorade slushie is made by freezing a mixture of sports drink with crushed ice until it reaches a thick, icy consistency. The process involves blending or stirring during freezing to achieve a vibrant, textured frozen beverage that resembles a colorful, frosty slush. Its final appearance is a semi-solid, brightly colored icy treat ideal for hot days.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Gatorade choose your favorite flavor
  • 1 cup ice cubes crushed or whole, enough to fill the container
  • optional to taste honey or sugar for added sweetness if desired

Equipment

  • Freezer-safe container
  • Blender or mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Pour the Gatorade into a freezer-safe container, leaving enough space for expansion.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the Gatorade, stirring gently to combine, or place the lid on the container and shake to mix evenly.
  3. Put the container in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, take it out and stir or shake vigorously to break up ice crystals and promote an even slushie texture.
  4. Repeat this process about 3-4 times over a couple of hours, until the mixture becomes thick and icy with a slushie consistency.
  5. If desired, drizzle in some honey or sprinkle sugar and stir to sweeten the slushie further before final freezing.
  6. Once the mixture reaches a thick, scoopable consistency, serve it immediately in glasses for a vibrant and icy treat.

Notes

Ensure to stir frequently during freezing to prevent large ice chunks and achieve a smooth slushie. Adjust sweetness to taste before serving.
