Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Gatorade (any flavor) chilled and fully frozen
  • 1 cup ice cubes optional, for faster freezing
  • 1 pinch salt enhances flavor

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Pour the Gatorade into a shallow baking dish or freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer.
  2. Allow the drink to freeze for about 1 to 2 hours, until it’s firm but not completely solid.
  3. Remove the frozen Gatorade from the freezer and use a fork or mixing spoon to scrape and break up the ice crystals, creating a coarse, slushy texture.
  4. Stir in a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor and mix until evenly distributed.
  5. If you want it extra cold, add some ice cubes and stir again to blend the coldness smoothly into the slush.
  6. Return the mixture to the freezer, spreading it out evenly, and freeze for an additional 30 minutes. Every 15 minutes, remove and stir well to prevent ice clumping and ensure a uniform, icy consistency.
  7. Once the mixture reaches a soft, scoopable consistency with visible ice crystals, serve immediately in glasses or cups.

Notes

Keep an eye on the freezing process to avoid turning the slush into solid ice blocks. Stir regularly for the best texture. Use brightly flavored Gatorade varieties for vibrant colors and bold flavors.
