7-11 Slurpee               

 tags (edit): @Vogel Beverage Top Secret @Try Soon! Desserts  

 

It's gettin' hot, baby! Time to cool off and put on a big red smile with this special summer recipe. Now you can make your own version of the popular convenience store slush we know from the excruciating brain freeze that follows a big 'ol gulp. You must have a blender to make this clone of 7-eleven's slurpee, and enough room to stick that blender into your freezer to get it nice and thick. This recipe gets close to the original with kool-aid mix and a little help from cherry extract, but you can make this drink with any flavor kool-aid mix (if you decide to make some variations, don't worry about adding extract). This recipe makes enough to fill one of those giant-size 32-ounce cups you find at the convenience store.

Ingredients

2 cups Club Soda Cold
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Unsweetened Cherry Kool-Aid Mix
1/2 teaspoon Cherry Extract Can Use Marichino Cher
2 1/2 cups Crushed Ice


 

Instructions
 1. Pour 1 cup of the club soda into a blender. Add the sugar, Kool-Aid mix, and cherry extract. Blend this until all of the sugar is dissolved.

2. Add the crushed ice and blend on high speed until the drink is a slushy, smooth consistency, with no remaining chunks of ice.

3. Add the remaining club soda and blend briefly until mixed. You may have to stop the blender and use a long spoon to stir up the contents.

4. If necessary, put the blender into your freezer for 1/2-hour. This will help thicken it up. After 1/2-hour remove blender from freezer and, again, blend briefly to mix.

Makes one 32-ounce drink (or two 16-ouncers).
