Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 cup lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup blue sports drink (like blue Gatorade or Powerade)
- 1/4 cup pink or purple sports drink
- 1/2 teaspoon edible glitter or shimmer dust (optional)
- lemon slices or star-shaped fruit for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ice and Lemonade: In a blender, combine the ice cubes and lemonade. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth slushie consistency, ensuring the texture is finely crushed and icy.
- Divide the Slushie: Pour the blended slushie evenly into two or three small serving glasses, filling them about halfway or as desired.
- Create Galaxy Layers: Slowly pour the blue sports drink down one side of each glass. Then, gently pour the pink or purple sports drink down the opposite side. This layering technique creates a beautiful, swirling galaxy effect without fully mixing the colors.
- Optional Garnishing: If desired, sprinkle edible glitter or shimmer dust on top of the slushie to add a sparkling cosmic feel. Garnish each glass with lemon slices or star-shaped fruit for a fun, decorative touch.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the Galaxy Lemonade Slushie right away with a straw or spoon to enjoy its icy, refreshing texture and vibrant appearance.
Notes
- For an extra fruity twist, use flavored lemonades like raspberry or strawberry.
- Freeze the lemonade into ice cubes ahead of time for an even icier texture.
- This colorful and fun drink is excellent for kids’ parties, summer treats, or any themed events requiring a fun, cosmic vibe.
