This Tropical Hawaiian Punch Slushie is a chilled, vibrant treat made by blending Hawaiian Punch flavor extract with cold water and plenty of ice until smooth and slushy. The result is a refreshing, frozen beverage perfect for hot days or parties. Garnish with tropical fruit slices or cherries to add visual appeal and fresh flavor layers.
Ingredients
-
2 cups Hawaiian Punch flavor extract (fruit punch concentrate or water enhancer)
-
4 cups water (cold)
-
2 cups crushed or cubed ice (plus extra to serve)
-
Optional: slices of orange, pineapple, or whole cherries for garnish
Directions
Prepare base mix: In a pitcher or large bowl, pour 2 cups of Hawaiian Punch flavor extract into 4 cups of cold water. Stir until well combined for a bold tropical punch base.
Add ice: Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add about 2 cups of crushed or cubed ice—adjust more or less depending on your preferred slush consistency.
Blend until slush: Pulse or blend until ice is finely crushed and mixture is thick and slushy, with a vibrant red hue and smooth texture.
Serve immediately: Pour into glasses over extra ice if desired. This ensures a perfectly chilled, refreshing sip every time.
Garnish for flair: Add slices of orange or pineapple on the rim and/or drop a cherry into each cup to elevate appearance and flavor—great for social media posts or party tables.
Recipe Note
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use powder instead of liquid extract?
Yes—adjust water slightly and blend until fully dissolved. Powder may yield a brighter color and stronger flavor.
How icy or slushy should it be?
It should be thick enough to sip but still pourable. Adjust ice amount to be smoother or thicker based on personal preference.
Can I make it ahead?
It's best served fresh. The slush may separate if left too long; brief re-blending helps refresh its texture if needed.
Can I turn it into a cocktail?
Absolutely—add a splash of vodka, rum, or flavored liqueur before blending for an adult version.
Can I use frozen fruit instead of ice?
Yes! Frozen pineapple or mango pieces add natural sweetness and help maintain slushy texture.
Is this kid-friendly?
Yes—just omit any alcohol and perhaps reduce sweetness if using highly concentrated extract.
How to prevent dilution?
Use crushed ice rather than cubes for smoother texture and slower melting.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Sure—freeze in a sealed container, then re-blend when ready to serve for fresh slush.
Can I make single cups instead of a batch?
Definitely—just scale down (e.g., 1 Tbsp extract, 2–3 Tbsp water, and ½ cup ice per serving) and blend individually.
Can I customize flavors?
Yes—add a splash of lime juice, mango nectar, or coconut milk for tropical variations, or swirl in pink lemonade for added sweetness.
