How to Make Cherry Slush Non Alcoholic

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups cherry juice blend and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. In a blender or food processor, combine 2 cups pitted fresh cherries, 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  6. Blend for 1 minute, or until the cherries are completely pureed.
  7. In a 6-cup freezer-safe container, combine the cooled cherry juice mixture and the cherry puree.
  8. Mix thoroughly.
  9. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  10. Freeze for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight.
  11. Remove the cherry mixture from the freezer 30 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
  12. Spoon 1/4 cup of slush into each serving glass.
  13. Add 1/2 cup of your favorite carbonated beverage (lemon-lime soda recommended) to each glass.
  14. Garnish with orange slices and maraschino cherries (optional).
  15. Serve immediately. Freeze any remaining slush for later use. (Optional: Add a shot of your favorite alcohol to individual glasses before adding the carbonated beverage.)
