Blend on high power until you get a smooth, even, granita-like texture.

If the mixture is too thick, add a little water and blend again. Conversely, add a few extra ice cubes if you want a denser texture.

Immediately divide the slushie between two very cold glasses.

Garnish each glass with a few fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice if you like, then enjoy without waiting to get the most of its icy texture.

Chef's tip

Use frozen raspberries for an even thicker texture and to cut down on ice cubes. You can also replace part of the water with sparkling water right before serving for an extra touch of freshness.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Raspberries freeze very well. The prepared slushie does not freeze as is, it would turn into an undrinkable block of ice. The liquid base could be frozen but would need to be blended again with ice cubes.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The base (raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, water) can be prepared and kept 2-3 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add ice cubes and blend right before serving.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The base (raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, water) can be prepared the day before and kept 2-3 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add ice cubes and blend right before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, to be served cold or icy.

Variations

Frequently asked questions

How do you make the slushie?

Pour the frozen raspberries into the blender with the sugar, lemon juice, water, and ice cubes, then blend on high power until you get a smooth, even, granita-like texture.

Divide it right away between two very cold glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice if you like, and enjoy without waiting.
