Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones?
No, you can't use fresh strawberries as a substitute because doing so would require adding ice, which can dilute the flavors.
Is carbonated water necessary, or can I use regular water?
Yes, carbonated water is necessary as it provides the fizzy texture that enhances the slushie's appeal.
Can I make this slushie without a blender?
No, a blender is a must to create the desired texture and consistency for this slushie.
Storage Tips
To store any leftover slushie, place it in the fridge. While refrigeration will slow down the melting process, it’s important to note that it won’t completely prevent the slushie from melting. Slushies are best enjoyed immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
