Gatorade Slushie

This Gatorade slushie is a icy, refreshing beverage made by freezing flavored electrolyte drinks and blending them into a thick, crunchy texture. Key ingredients include Gatorade and ice, which combine to create a tangy, icy treat with a vivid, slushy appearance. The final dish has a vibrant, frosty look with a slightly granular texture that melts quickly in the mouth.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Gatorade Chilled
  • 1 cup ice cubes Crushed or whole
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest Optional, for extra zing

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender
  • Measuring cup
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Pour the Gatorade into a shallow freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer.
  2. Freeze for about 30 minutes until the liquid is slushy and partially frozen, with a slightly icy surface.
  3. While waiting, measure out the ice cubes and crush them slightly if whole, or use them as is for a thicker texture.
  4. Remove the Gatorade from the freezer once it has a slushy consistency and scoop it into a blender.
  5. Add the ice cubes to the blender with the Gatorade.
  6. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes thick, icy, and well combined, with a granular, slushy texture.
  7. Taste the slushie and, if desired, add a pinch of lemon zest for extra brightness, then give it a quick pulse to combine.
  8. Scoop the finished slushie into glasses, allowing the icy, vibrant mixture to mound slightly above the rim.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the crunchy, cold, and tangy texture.

Notes

For best texture, ensure the Gatorade is sufficiently chilled before freezing, and do not over-blend to maintain a crunchy consistency. Customize with different flavors of Gatorade or add additional citrus zest for new twists.
