I can’t believe it’s July already. It feels like I just blinked through June!
But wow, I can certainly tell it’s July as it’s actually hot here in England. Don’t faint now! 😆
My girls came home from school today like red faced drippy messes. Drawn like bees to flowers, they just flopped down in front of the cooling fan, bodies like starfish!
“Mummmmmmm? I’m hot.” You’d think they’d appreciate a hot summer since most of the time it’s, well, raining!
I busted out the blender and got to work. I didn’t have many fruits in to make a super cold smoothie, but I did have in the cordial (squash) juices in which would make a nice Slush Puppy-esq slushie (aka. snow cone?)
And since it’s summer and all, I had the summer fruits flavoured juice in – just perfect!
This slushie is so easy to make, just literally a case of blending the 4 ingredients together. Oh, and you have to boil the kettle too! #shockhorror
Devour with a straw or a spoon.
Summer Fruits Slushie
Yield: 1 slushie
Prep Time: 5 minutes
This summer fruits flavoured slushie is the perfect way to beat the heat this summer. Quick and easy to make at home. You and your kids will love these slushies.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp boiling water
- 260g (9.2 oz) ice cubes
- 4 tbsp summer fruits cordial (squash), see notes
Directions:
- In a cup, mug or small jug, add the sugar and boiling water and stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved. Set aside until it is just luke warm or cooler. See notes for time-saving method.
- Once the syrup has cooled enough, add the summer fruits cordial to the syrup, then pour the ice in the blender.
- Add the syrup over the ice and blend until the correct consistency. If you find small cubes in the slushie, just use a spoon to push them down to the bottom and blend again. Sometimes shaking the blender gently will help too.
- Pour into a frozen or chilled glass and enjoy.
Notes:
- I have used double concentrated cordial in this recipe. If you use regular strength squash, double to amount to 8 tbsp, or to taste.
- If you don’t want to wait for the syrup to cool, use some of the ice in the syrup to cool it down quickly. However, this results in a more watery slushy - just add a touch more ice if necessary.
- Need more than one glass? This recipe works when doubled, or even tripled! I tripled the recipe myself for my 3 children. Just ensure your blender is big enough first. 🙂

Lisa, this looks so wonderful. Lovely, in fact!!! Pinned it 🙂
Thanks Sinea. 🙂
They look delish!!! how can you keep them cold?? and slushie like? i have to sell them and im not sure how to keep them do i pre make them or what? i could just make them on the day but…. ????!!!!
Hi, I haven’t tried to keep them cold as they were made and enjoyed immediately after. What you could do is to make a large batch and seal them in ziplock bags in the freezer (or use dry ice), then remove them 5-10 minutes prior to serving and use your hands to squish back to a slushie consistency in the bag, and serve.
If you’re using my recipe to sell, I’d recommend that you at least credit my blog when selling, so your customers are aware where the recipe is from. I hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by.
This is just what I need today – it’s going to be a hot one!
I think I’ve needed one of these every day since I posted this recipe. Might have to adapt it into a body lotion instead, it’s so hot.
Thanks Kim.
Oooo lovely lisa, i think i’m going to try this one, perfect my preggo self in this heat
Did you try it yet Tash? I remember carrying my first born all throughout the summer. She was born in October, but I remember that year it was still hot in October still. I feel you. Hopefully you’ve tried one [or several] and they’re helping you.
Thanks for stopping by, Tash.
My daughter would love one of your slushies…such a delicious way too cool down!
I’m sure you could whip these up with your eyes closed and hands behind your back, Liz. 🙂 They’re so easy. If you give them a shot, let me know how much you like them.
Thanks for stopping by.
Love love love love. Pinned to make this!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and pinning, Meaghan. 🙂
I love that bright pink color! Looks fun!
Thanks Medeja. 🙂
Looks so refreshing!!! And I love the pink.
Me too. Thanks Zainab.
omg Lisa it is STIFLING here in NJ. >_< I need at least one of these a day to keep myself cool this summer. 😀 They are gorgeous!
They definitely help keep you cool and if all else fails, just adapt into a frozen body butter. Now there’s an idea!
Thanks Jess.
Looks wonderful and refreshing. Love it. I am glad summer finally arrived to you too 🙂
Hehe, thanks Ella. Now I’m complaining it’s too hot, eh? 😆 It’s the humidity here in the house though.
Thanks for stopping by.
Wow I wish I was in summer so I could try this 😀
Ok… stuff it I will make it anyway!
Cheers

Did you make it Uru?
Doesn’t have to be summer to enjoy frozen goodies, I had ice cream in December! 😆
Lisa, this looks so refreshing! Definitely trying it today! It’s been so hot in socal — 100 degrees! — that I just invested in a shaved ice machine and I’m so excited to try everything! I’ll probably even add some margarita for a little fun! 😀
I will be trying this one out during the hot months for myself and my little ones. I have pinned it to my favourite recipes. Thanks for sharing lisa
