Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups frozen cola cubes prepared by pouring cola into ice tray and freezing overnight
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 2 tbsp sugar syrup optional, for extra sweetness

Equipment

• Freezer
• Blender

Method

 

1. Place the frozen cola cubes, regular ice cubes, and sugar syrup into the blender.
2. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture is thick, icy, and slushy in texture.
3. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash of cola or water and pulse briefly to loosen.
4. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, watching as it booms and shreds into snow-like flakes.
5. Top with an extra splash of cola if desired for a fizzy finish and serve immediately for the best icy crunch.

Notes

For a less sweet version, reduce sugar syrup or omit it altogether. Using pre-frozen cola cubes speeds up preparation and enhances the flavor.

No matter how busy life gets, a quick homemade treat like this serves as a reminder to pause and savor. It’s not just about the flavor—it’s about the joyful chaos of making something delightful with your own hands. Cheers to sweet, icy memories and spontaneous happiness.
