Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe cherries, pitted fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup crushed ice plus extra for serving
  • 1 tablespoon sugar syrup optional, to taste

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the cherries into a blender and pulse a few times to break them down slightly, releasing their color and juices.
  2. Add crushed ice and sweeten with a tablespoon of sugar syrup if desired.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, icy, and slushy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a vibrant pink color and a frosty texture.
  4. Stop the blender and give the mixture a quick stir to ensure an even consistency.
  5. Pour the cherry slushie into chilled glasses, letting the icy texture settle perfectly into each glass.
  6. Garnish with a fresh cherry or a sprig of mint if desired for a bee decor touch.

Notes

Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup, or try topping with a splash of lime juice for extra tartness.
