Ingredients
1 cup crushed ice
1/2 cup cherry juice (or fresh cherry puree)
1 shot dark rum (or spiced rum for extra flavor)
1/2 cup cola (sugar-free option available)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients: Gather your ice, cherry juice, dark rum, cola, lime juice, and maraschino cherries.
Blend the Slushie: Add the crushed ice, cherry juice, dark rum, and lime juice into a blender. Pulse the blender until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency. Add more cherry juice or cola if the texture is too thick.
Pour and Garnish: Pour the slushie into a chilled glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry on top. Optionally, add a lime wedge to the rim for a bit of extra flair.
Serve and Enjoy: Sit back, sip, and enjoy your Cherry Rum and Coke Slushie on a sunny afternoon or as a refreshing evening treat.
Notes
You can substitute the dark rum with coconut rum or white rum for a lighter, tropical twist.
For a healthier version, use a sugar-free cola or sparkling water instead of regular soda.
Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or agave syrup if necessary.
Make it non-alcoholic by omitting the rum and using fruit juice and sparkling water for a fun mocktail.
