๐ฟ Method
Step 1: Make the Pineapple Slush
- Add frozen pineapple chunks, pineapple juice (or water), and honey to a blender.

- Pour into a separate bowl or container and place in the freezer while you make the next layer.
Step 2: Make the Strawberry Slush
- Rinse out the blender.
- Add frozen strawberries, water (or lemonade), and sweetener.

- Use a straw or spoon to gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect โ not too much or the colors will mix completely!

- Serve immediately and enjoy!
๐ A Brief History: The Rise of the Slushie
Slushies date back to the 1950s when Omar Knedlik invented the frozen carbonated drink by accident. But long before machines made ice-based beverages easy, ancient cultures in the Middle East, China, and Persia mixed snow with fruit syrups โ the first snow cones and proto-slushies. This fruity twist blends the tropical punch of pineapple (beloved since it was called the “fruit of kings”) and the timeless sweetness of strawberries (symbol of Venus, goddess of love).
Together? A slushie that tastes like summer and feels like a crush. โค๏ธ

๐ง Formation & Flavor Tips

- Want a Boozy Version? Add a splash of rum, vodka, or coconut liqueur to either slush layer for a tropical cocktail!
