Classic Coke Slushie

A Coke slushie is a frozen beverage made by chilling and blending carbonated cola with ice to create a smooth, icy drink with a sweet, fizzy flavor. The final texture is thick, slushy, and scoopable, reminiscent of childhood summer treats. The preparation involves freezing and blending to achieve a refreshing, cold consistency.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cola soda chilled
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons sugar syrup optional, for extra sweetness

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled cola soda into a shallow dish or ice cube tray and place in the freezer until thoroughly frozen, about 2-3 hours.
  2. Once frozen solid, break the cola into smaller chunks or remove from the freezer in chunks for easier blending.
  3. Add the frozen cola chunks, ice cubes, and optional sugar syrup into the blender.
  4. Blend on high speed until the mixture is thick, slushy, and smooth, with a texture similar to soft serve ice cream.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency; add a bit more ice if needed for a thicker texture and blend briefly again.
  6. Scoop the frozen Coke slushie into glasses and garnish with a straw or a slice of lemon if desired.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a dash of lime juice before blending.
