- Chill the cherry cola beforehand for an extra frosty slushie.
- If using frozen cherries, rinse and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
2. Blend the Slushie
- In a blender, combine the cherry cola, ice cubes, and frozen cherries (if using). Add sugar or simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter slushie.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy-like. If it’s too thick, add a splash more cherry cola. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
