Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cola soda chilled for best results
  • 1 cup ice cubes preferably crushed or small pieces
  • 1 tbsp sugar syrup optional, for added sweetness

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled cola into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly frozen.
  2. Once frozen, break the cola into chunks using a spoon or spatula to loosen it from the sides.
  3. Place the frozen cola chunks and ice cubes into a blender. Add the sugar syrup if using for extra sweetness.
  4. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, with a slushy, granular texture that looks frosted and fluffy.
  5. Pour the slushie into glasses immediately, revealing a frosty, fizzy surface with tiny ice crystals.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the icy, bubbly texture while cold and refreshing.

Notes

For a more intense frost, freeze the cola longer or add more ice during blending. You can also customize sweetness with additional syrup or flavorings.
