Ninja Slushi Shirley Temple Slush Recipe Faqs
Can I use diet soda instead of regular soda? While you can use diet soda, it’s not recommended for the best slush texture.
Can I make this slush without the Ninja Slushi machine? Yes! If you don’t have a Ninja Slushi machine, you can make this slush in a blender. Just blend the ingredients with ice until you achieve a slushy texture. You may need to adjust the amount of ice to get the right consistency.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the slush? You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less grenadine to taste. If you prefer a less sweet slush, start with a smaller amount of grenadine and taste before adding more.
Can I make this slush alcoholic? Absolutely! To make a “Dirty Shirley,” simply add a shot of vodka or rum to the slush mixture before blending. This will give you an adult twist on the classic Shirley Temple slush.
How long will the slush last after making it? The slush is best enjoyed immediately, as the texture can become watery as it melts. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1-2 days. Just re-blend the slush to restore the icy texture.
How can I make this slush more tangy? If you prefer a tangier slush, add a little more lemon juice or even lime juice to balance the sweetness. You can also experiment with adding a splash of sour mix or citric acid for an extra tart kick.
Can I make this slush in advance? While it’s best to serve the slush immediately for the best texture, you can prepare the mixture ahead of time and freeze it. Just let it thaw slightly before serving or re-blend it in a machine to restore the slushy consistency.
