Blue Raspberry Lemonade Jello Frozen Slush

 

Ever since I was a little girl I was attracted to blue drinks. The color just appeals to me and it screams refreshment. Enter the Frozen Slush!

The Frozen Slush I’m sharing today isn’t alcoholic in nature. I created it with my kids in mind and, well, I suppose to appeal to my inner child as well.

I remember a few years ago when I was traveling with one of our executives for work – during one of our layovers at the airport we decided to pass some time by going to one of the bars for a drink. He ordered a margarita; so I did the same.

Mine was blue and slushy – his was “normal” and on the rocks. (You know I like trying new recipes) He said, “What in the world did you order?” I just smiled. He just shook his head. I looked at him and said, “Depending on how long we’re going to be here, I just may have another.”

The blue color makes me happy and reminds me of summer. The Jello is what gets the kids excited. It’s a win-win and actually a pretty versatile recipe.

I will admit, the slush and lemon lime soda combo is my favorite. Call it childhood memories or just my taste buds. It’s one of those refreshing summer treats I can’t get enough of.

Now, if you’ve just had a really long week, go ahead and turn this mocktail into a cocktail by adding a little vodka. Suddenly, it’s transformed into a slushy Electric Blue Vodka Lemonade.

Refreshing? You be the judge. I’ll just be waiting over here. . .to be awarded my “blue” ribbon after you finish your Frozen Slush. You’re going to LOVE this and so will your kids (the mocktail version, of course)! Cheers!

Here’s why this fruit slush is a total blast:

1. Icy and Cool – The lemon-lime soda and freezing turn it into a slush consistency with ice crystals—like a snow cone you can sip on a hot summer day!
2. Sweet and Tangy – Lemon juice and blue raspberry Jello mix for a flavor punch—sweeter than a candy stash and zingier than a lemonade stand!
3. Crazy Easy – Just stir, freeze, and scoop. Boom! This slushie recipe also looks good enough for social media!

• Boiling water
• Lemon-lime soda
• Fresh lemon juice
• Berry Blue Jello
• Fresh raspberries (optional garnish)
• Lemon slices (optional garnish)
• Extra lemon-lime soda (for serving)

1. In an 8×11 or similar sized baking dish combine the boiling water and Jello until the Jello is dissolved.
2. Stir in soda and lemon juice and freeze for 4 hours or more until frozen solid.
3. Remove from freezer 10-15 minutes before serving.
4. Fill your glass with half of the slush mixture and the other half with soda.
5. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh raspberries.

CAN I MIX IN DIFFERENT JUICES?

You bet! Add a splash of pineapple juice or orange juice concentrate for a fun twist—it’s like picking your favorite flavor at the gas station slush machine!

Any juice concentrates work great in this slushy drink.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT’S FROZEN ENOUGH?

It’s ready when it’s solid with ice crystals—about 4 hours in the freezer.

If it’s too hard, let it sit out for 10-15 minutes until it’s scoopable, like a perfect slush consistency!

ANY ADDITIONS?

Cool down in the summer heat with these ideas.

Is there anything better than a slush drink on a hot day?

• Fresh raspberries for a juicy burst
• Lemon slices for a zesty kick
• A splash of pineapple juice for tropical vibes
• Ginger ale for extra bubbles
• Chopped strawberries for sweet pops
• A drizzle of orange juice concentrate for citrusy zing
• Whipped cream for fluffy fun
• Crushed ice for more chill
• A sprinkle of sugar for sparkle
• Triple sec or other alcoholic beverages if you’re looking for a good happy hour!
• Club soda for a fizzy twist

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Switch up your own homemade slushies with these swaps if you’re missing something or want a change:

• Club soda instead of lemon-lime soda for a lighter fizz
• Lime juice instead of lemon juice for a different tang
• Any Jello flavor instead of blue raspberry—try green tea or strawberry!
• Cold water with a splash of juice concentrates instead of soda
• Maple syrup instead of sugar if you tweak the base
• Black tea instead of hot water for a tea-slush vibe

Refrigerator:

Scoop leftovers into an airtight container and chill in the fridge for up to a day—it’ll soften but stay tasty for a quick sip next day. Give it a quick stir to wake it up!

Freezer:

Pop it in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to a month. Scoop it out when you’re ready—it keeps that slush consistency with a little stir after thawing!

There you go! A Frozen Slush that’s icy, sweet, and crazy easy! It’s the great way to cool in the hot summer months. Grab a glass, slurp it up, and enjoy—you’re a slush pro now! Whether it’s a hot summer day, a holiday season bash, or just a fun snack, this drink recipe with its simple ingredients is a total family favorite.
