okay i admit to being a slurpee fanatic for most of my life...i remember as a kid in high school they were a daily lunch ritual and during my summer football practices I kept my energy up between the double practices with huge slurpees.
of course now i know that those were just gigantic sugar bombs. i've been dying for a sugar-free slurpee to be marketed and always wondered why it was never thought of. when they finally did come out i was at 7-11's daily, sometimes twice daily to get my fix.
well, anyways, i finally decided to make my own at home. i figured okay all it takes is ice and pop and the right blender correct?
so wrong.
adding regular ice is like watering the drink down and the ice sticks together leaving the concoction...well...not really a concoction.
so then i thought what do i have to do?! i want my own slurpees.
then bling, i have to freeze pop and use that pop-ice to make the slurpee....
well it worked a little but the ice didn't want to blend prperly and still stuck together so it was like a slushy snow ball. you know the kind you get when the snow is melting, the kind you throw at people you don't like?
so then i thought, well they do this in bars and i've seen them made but they don't add anything but alcohol and mixers. so i figured maybe i'll try to add a shot of liquor...
and viola!!!!
it worked like a charm. but i'm still back to the fact that i'm adding unwanted calories. now this will work for weekends when i want to drink but not for daily slurpee habits.
does anyone have a solution to get that perfect slurpee from your blender without the sugar or the alcohol?
