Samaira Pal, Falls of Autry Mill, Junior Girls B1
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup coconut water or plain water
2 Tbsp. honey or agave syrup (to taste)
10-12 fresh mint leaves
2 cups ice
Blend the base: Add all ingredients (juices, water, honey, mint, and salt) into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mint is broken down and the mixture is smooth.
Add ice and blend again: Add the ice and blend on high until it reaches a slushie consistency. You also can use frozen citrus juice cubes instead of ice for a thicker, more flavorful slush.
Freeze ahead (optional): Pour the slushie into a freezer-safe container or thermos and freeze for 2-3 hours before your event. This will make it extra icy and help it stay slushie-like longer.
Serve courtside: Pour into insulated cups or tumblers, garnish with citrus wedges or mint leaves. Stir before serving if it starts separating.
Optional: a pinch of salt for electrolytes.
Optional garnish: citrus slices or mint sprigs.
Pro Tip: Freeze it in a mason jar or thermos, and pack it with ice packs in a cooler. It will stay slushie for hours — just shake and sip!
