# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This slushie nails that tangy-sweet balance, and it looks like a summer carnival in a cup.
  • The blender does all the work, so you get vibrant, icy refreshment in less time than it takes to debate your favorite summer fruit.
02 -
  • If you overload the blender with too much ice at once, it can jam and overheat–so don’t rush it or you’ll end up with half-blended chunks.
  • Letting the mixture sit too long before serving means you lose that frosty magic fast; blend right before guests arrive.
03 -
  • Always pulse the blender a few times before going full speed so the ice doesn’t stick at the bottom.
  • A pinch of salt, weird as it sounds, makes both the lemon and raspberry flavors pop more—try it and thank me later.
