Root Beer Slushie Ingredients
You’ll just need a few simple things to make your Root Beer Slushies…
- Root Beer – chilled in the refrigerator
- Frozen Root Beer – frozen in ice cube trays
- Ice Cubes
You’ll also need a blender on hand to get the job done.
How Long Does it Take for Root Beer to Freeze?
When it comes to freezing Root Beer, you’ll need to freeze your Root Beer ice cubes for at least 4 hours.
To make sure mine are all the way froze, I like to pop them in the freezer the day before I make my Frozen Root Beer Slushies.
How to Make a Root Beer Slushie
You won’t believe how simple it is to make your own Root Beer slushies at home!
Here’s what you’ll do…
Freeze half of your root beer in an ice cube tray.
Make sure to wait until it’s all the way frozen before making your slushie. Rushing the process will affect the consistency.
Chill the remaining half of your Root Beer in the fridge.
Once the Root Beer cubes have frozen, blend your chilled Root Beer, frozen Root Beer cubes, and ice cubes together until it turns into a slushie consistency.
That’s it… you’re done!
Now all that’s left to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy every delicious sip!
See… I told you this was going to be EASY!!
