Ingredients

  • 6 cups ice cubes (or enough to fill about half a gallon-sized bag)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Ice cream salt (Kosher salt or table salt work great too)
  • 1 cup juice or soda (not diet)

Instructions

  • Place ice cubes and salt in a quart-sized Ziploc bag.
    Open bag of ice and rock salt.
  • Place juice in a sandwich-sized Ziploc bag, press out all the air and seal tightly. If it isn't sealed tightly enough, salt will get in and it won't taste good.
    Juice in ziplock bag.
  • Place the small bag of juice IN the larger bag of ice and seal. The larger bag will be holding the ice, salt, and the baggie of juice. *PLEASE NOTE: You will have two separate bags - a quart bag with ice and salt, and a sandwich bag with juice.
    Juice bag inside ice bag.
  • Shake for about 3-5 minutes or until juice gets slushy. If your hands get too cold, wrap a dish cloth around the bag or use gloves and continue shaking.
    Hand holding and shaking a bag of juice inside a ziplock bag of ice and rock salt.
  • If your slushy isn't getting slushified. Add more ice and salt to the outer bag and keep shaking.
    Hand pulling out the juice bag from the ice bag.
  • Pour slush into a cup and serve immediately.
    Spoon with a scoop of homemade pink slushie.
