    Sonic Slushes

    No need to get in the car and drive to a Sonic restaurant when you get that craving for a Sonic Slush. These popular slurpees have been around for quite some time and are constantly changing the flavors each year. We wish they would bring back some flavors like the Watermelon. Ah-um… Sonic. So when you favorite flavor is no longer at Sonic this is a great recipe to keep on hand to make it at home.

    There are so many flavors you can make with this recipe and customize to how you like it such as adding some of your favorite candies like Pop Rocks, Sour Patch Kids or Nerds like the Sonic Nerds Slushie. That is the best part of this recipe. So versatile and fun!

      This is THE WINE SLUSHIE recipe I’ve been searching for!!! Substitute water and ice cubes for wine and “wine cubes”. Since wine doesn’t freeze as solid as water, substitute the quantities. . . . start with 1 cup of wine and blend in wine cubes until you get a good slushie consistency. Keep it in the freezer for when needed.

      Don’t you mean add “ice” and ice water, sugar and powdered drink mix?
