This Fruit Slush is the perfect frozen fruit drink for parties! It’s loaded with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, and bananas!
My mom made this slush years ago for a family party! Honestly, I’m not sure any of the family had a chance to taste any of it because Justin pretty much devoured the whole thing! He is in LOVE with this stuff! He’s right, it is good! It’s packed with lots of fruit, that’s my favorite part!
This drink does require a little “ahead of time” work. Which is kinda nice, because it requires little “at the time” work. You make a syrup and freeze it before. I usually do this days, or even weeks before.
I pour it in cool whip, or sour cream containers. Please tell me you save these too. Put them in the freezer and that’s it for the “ahead of time” work!
About an hour before you are ready to serve the punch pour fruit and and frozen lemon ice in a big bowl. Occasionally, gently stir it breaking up the pieces of ice.
Just before serving add banana’s and pineapple. That’s it!
Isn’t this so pretty? I love it for the 4th of July, Memorial Day and pretty much any other day! It’s perfect for barbecues. Bring Fiesta Fruit Slush if you want to be the hit of the party!
Fiesta Fruit Slush
Ingredients
- 1 bag triple blend berries blueberries, strawberries, raspberries
- 20 oz. can crushed pineapple
- 6 bananas sliced
- LEMON ICE:
- 4 c. sugar
- 4 c. water
- 4 c. water
- 1 c. lemon juice
Instructions
- LEMON ICE:
- Boil sugar and 4 cups water for five minutes.
- Remove from heat. Add remaining 4 cups water and lemon juice.
- Pour in cool whip containers and freeze.
- hour before serving put lemon ice and fruit in a large bowl.
- Occasionally toss ice and fruit, breaking up the lemon ice.
- Just before serving add bananas and pineapple. Stir.
- Serve.
- NOTE: I usually freeze a full batch of lemon ice. But, when I make the slush I only use half of the lemon ice and cut the remaining ingredients in half. Having lemon ice already in the freezer makes it extra simple to serve this another time. Besides a whole batch makes LOTS! I’m not exactly sure how many servings it makes. It depends on what size each serving is. One serving for my husband is about 3 cups! 🙂
