🥄 Ingredients:

• 4 cups ice water
  (Cold water is key to help blend the ice smoothly.)

• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  (This gives it that signature Sonic sweetness. You can adjust to taste.)

• 1 tablespoon powdered drink mix
  (Choose any flavor: cherry, blue raspberry, lemonade, grape, etc. Kool-Aid or store brands work great.)

• 3–4 cups of ice
  (For that frosty, slushy texture.)

🌀 Instructions:

1. Make the Sweet Drink Base

In a large pitcher or blender, combine:

• 4 cups ice water

• ⅔ cup sugar

• 1 tablespoon powdered drink mix

Stir well until the sugar and powder are completely dissolved. You should have a vibrantly colored, sweet-flavored liquid.

2. Add Ice

Add 3–4 cups of ice to a high-powered blender. You can adjust the amount of ice based on how thick you like your slush.

3. Blend It Up

Pour the flavored drink mix into the blender over the ice. Blend on high until the mixture becomes icy and slushy, similar to a Sonic slushie texture.

💡 Tip: If it's too thin, add a little more ice. Too thick? Add a splash of cold water and blend again.

4. Serve Immediately

Pour into tall cups, add a straw or spoon, and enjoy right away before it melts. Optional: top with gummy candies, a cherry, or Nerds candy—just like Sonic sometimes does!
