The first time I shared this refreshing slush recipe was over at This Silly Girl's Life. Today, I'm bringing it on over to Bitz & Giggles to share with you! The drink is a beautiful blue and perfect for summer parties and BBQs!
This Blue Raspberry Lemonade Jello Slush isn't alcoholic in nature. It's perfect for both children and adults and provides cool refreshment on the hottest of days!
The blue color makes me happy and reminds me of summer. The Jello is what gets the kids excited. It's a win-win and actually a pretty versatile recipe.
You can add some of the slush to a glass with some lemon-lime soda or lemonade, and drink it. . .
OR. . .you could grab a knife. . .
Hollow out the inside of a lemon. . .
And fill THAT with the slush. If you want to drink the slush out of the lemon, add a little lemon-lime soda. If you want to spoon it out of the lemon like Italian Ice, do nothing! Garnish with a raspberry or two, grab a spoon and you're golden!
I will admit, the slush and lemon-lime soda combo is my favorite.
Now, if you've just had a really long week, go ahead and turn this mocktail into a cocktail by adding a little vodka. Suddenly, it's transformed into a slushy Electric Blue Vodka Lemonade. Refreshing? You be the judge. I'll just be waiting over here. . .to be awarded my "blue" ribbon after you finish your drink. You're going to LOVE this and so will your kids (the mocktail version, of course)! Cheers!

Blue Raspberry Lemonade Jello Slush Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup Sprite or other lemon-lime soda
- Juice from ½ of a lemon
- 1 box Berry Blue Jello (3.4 oz. size)
- Fresh raspberries and lemon slices for garnish (optional)
- Additional Sprite (lemon-lime soda or lemonade to add to drink when serving.)
Instructions
- In an 8x11 or similar sized baking dish combine the boiling water and Jello until the Jello is dissolved.
- Stir in soda and freeze for 4 hours or more until frozen solid.
- Remove from freezer 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Fill your glass with half of the slush mixture and the other half with soda.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh raspberries.
Notes
- Control the Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of your slush by experimenting with the amount of lemon-lime soda added. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of soda used in the recipe or opt for a sugar-free variety. Conversely, if you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can increase the amount of soda or add a touch of simple syrup to the mixture.
- Enhance with Fresh Ingredients: Elevate the flavor and presentation of your Blue Raspberry Lemonade Jello Slush by using fresh raspberries and lemon slices for garnish. Not only do these add a burst of color and freshness, but they also complement the tangy lemon and sweet berry flavors of the slush. You can even muddle a few raspberries in the glass before adding the slush for an extra burst of fruity flavor.
- Serve with Fizz: To maintain the refreshing fizziness of your slush, top off each serving with additional lemon-lime soda or lemonade just before serving. This ensures that your drink stays bubbly and effervescent, enhancing the overall drinking experience. Adjust the amount of soda added to each glass based on personal preference for sweetness and carbonation level.
