What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons blue raspberry syrup
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Blend Lemonade Base
Blend lemon juice, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of blue raspberry syrup, and 1 cup of ice until smooth and slushy. Pour this creamy lemon base into glasses, filling them halfway.
Step 2: Blend Blue Layer
Without rinsing the blender add frozen blueberries, remaining blue raspberry syrup, and remaining ice. Blend until thick and intensely blue-purple in color, about 30 seconds.
Step 3: Layer and Serve
Carefully spoon the blue raspberry slush on top of the creamy lemonade base to create a stunning two-tone layered effect. Garnish with fresh blueberries and a lemon wedge and serve immediately.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- blue raspberry syrup → mixed berry syrup for a naturally flavored purple lemonade slush
- heavy cream → vanilla ice cream blended in for an extra thick ice cream lemonade slush
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Blending both layers together ruins the signature two-toned visual effect that makes this drink impressive
- Pouring the blue layer too aggressively causes it to sink and mix prematurely before serving
