- 1 can Pure Frozen Cranberry Juice Concentrate
- 6 Mint leaves
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 1/2 cup Sprite
Instructions
- Prepare Cherries: Wash and pit the fresh Lambert cherries thoroughly. If using frozen cherries, this step can be skipped as they are already prepared.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh cherries, cranberry juice concentrate, ice cubes, and mint leaves. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and slushy consistency.

- Serve: Gently mix the drink in the glass to combine the Sprite with the cherry blend and serve immediately for a cool, refreshing experience.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh Lambert cherries when in season; frozen cherries work as a convenient alternative.
- Adjust the amount of Sprite to taste based on your preferred level of sweetness and fizziness.
- Mint leaves add a fresh aroma; you can add more or less depending on your preference.
- Serve immediately to prevent ice from melting and diluting the slushie’s texture.
- Can be customized by substituting cranberry juice concentrate with other berry concentrates for different flavors.
