FAQs
Can I make this slush without a blender?
A blender is best to achieve the smooth, icy texture. Without one, you can try crushing the ice and mixing, but the drink won’t be as smooth.
Can I use bottled lime juice instead of limeade concentrate?
Using bottled lime juice will change the sweetness and consistency. If you do, add sweetener to taste and reduce the water slightly to keep the slush texture.
