Notes

For a stronger flavor, use 1 teaspoon of drink mix powder. To reduce sugar, substitute with a sugar-free drink mix or a natural sweetener like stevia. Serve immediately in chilled glasses for the best texture. If the slushie is too thick, let it sit for a minute or add a splash more club soda. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 hours, but re-blend before serving as it will freeze solid. Avoid over-blending or the ice will melt too much and make it watery.
