Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

🧃 2 cups blue raspberry drink mix (like Kool-Aid or Hawaiian Punch Blue) – the base for that iconic color
🍍 1½ cups pineapple juice – for tangy, tropical sweetness
🥤 1½ cups lemon-lime soda (Sprite or 7UP) – adds fizz and balances the sweetness
🧊 4–5 cups ice cubes – for that frosty slush texture
🍋 ½ cup lemonade concentrate – for an extra zing of citrus
💙 ½ cup blue Curaçao (optional, for adults) – to deepen the color and add orange liqueur flavor
🥃 ½ to 1 cup white rum or vodka (optional) – if you’re making it for grown-ups
🍒 Whipped cream, maraschino cherries, or rainbow sprinkles – optional but fun toppings
🍬 Blue rock candy sticks or gummy sharks – for themed garnish fun

Instructions

Step 1:
Add blue raspberry drink mix, pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, and lemonade concentrate to your blender.

Step 2:
Toss in the ice cubes (start with 4 cups) and blend on high until smooth and slushy. If too thick, add a splash of soda; if too thin, add more ice.

Step 3:
If making an adult version, add blue Curaçao and rum or vodka, and pulse to combine.

Step 4:
Taste and adjust sweetness—add more juice or soda if needed.

Step 5:
Pour into glasses, mason jars, or a punch bowl. Top with whipped cream and garnish with cherries, sprinkles, or themed candies.

Step 6:
Serve immediately with colorful straws and a smile! 🧊💙

Notes

This recipe is all about blending, not cooking—but a few tricks can help:

Blend in batches if you’re making a large amount.
Use crushed ice if your blender isn’t very powerful.
Keep everything chilled before blending so it doesn’t melt too quickly.
