How to Make, Raspberry Slush Cooler

Halfway between a drink and a slush this Raspberry Slush Cooler is a hit with children and adults alike.

In fact, you can serve it both ways at once. Spoon the sieved base into small containers as a raspberry slush for the children. Then simply dilute the rest of the slush into drinks for the adults.

Using frozen raspberries rather than fresh creates an instant slush directly from the blender. No artificial flavours or sweeteners and of course available all year around if you fancy a quick treat. If you have them freeze the sieved slush in ice-lolly moulds for a frozen treat.

Why not try serving a small glass of slush or mall ice lolly as a pre-dessert for your next dinner party? Keeps the guests amused while you finish off their dessert at your own pace.

Raspberry Slush Cooler.

Makes 1.2lt

• 300g              frozen raspberries
• 300ml            chilled stock syrup
• juice of 1       lime                                                             
• juice of 1       lemon
• 650ml           sparkling mineral water

Place the raspberries still frozen into the blender. Add the fruit juices and stock syrup.

Sieving the Raspberry Slush.

Tip the contents of the blender into a fine sieve and press the juices through by rubbing the sieve with the back of a small ladle.

This will give you a thick ice cold slush that can be stored in the fridge for up to four days or used at once

To serve add the sparkling mineral water to the juices, throw in a handful of ice cubes and serve.
