Shirley Temple Slush
A refreshing, bright pink slush made with Sprite and grenadine, perfect for summer parties and kids' gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cans (12-oz) Sprite, chilled (another lemon-lime soda)
- 1/4 cup grenadine syrup
- as needed Maraschino cherries, for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- Chill your cans of Sprite thoroughly before starting — colder soda freezes faster and produces a smoother slush.
- Open the Ninja Slushi machine and pour all three cans of cold Sprite into the reservoir.
- Add 1/4 cup grenadine syrup directly into the soda. Pour slowly so it mixes evenly.
- Close the machine and turn on the slushi/churn cycle according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Watch the texture. When the mixture reaches a soft-serve slush consistency, stop the machine (typically takes 10-20 minutes).
- Spoon or pour the slush into chilled glasses. Top each with a maraschino cherry and a straw. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a different twist, substitute diet Sprite or a sugar-free lemon-lime soda to reduce calories. If you don’t have grenadine, pomegranate juice + simple syrup (2:1 ratio) is a decent substitute.
