Ingredients
- 4 cups Pineapple juice
- 4 cups Orange juice
- 2 liters Lemon-lime soda
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 cups Water
- 2 cups Frozen strawberries
- 0.5 cups Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved to create a simple syrup. This should take about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, orange juice, and the cooled simple syrup. Stir well to mix.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mixture is semi-frozen and slushy in texture. Stir every 2 hours during freezing to ensure an even slushy consistency.
Step 4
About 10 minutes before serving, remove the slushy mixture from the freezer to soften slightly.
Step 5
Use a fork to scrape and fluff the slushy mixture, breaking up any large frozen chunks.
Step 6
Transfer the slushy mixture to a punch bowl. Slowly pour in the lemon-lime soda, stirring gently to combine.
Step 7
Add the frozen strawberries for a fruity garnish, and optionally top with a few sprigs of fresh mint for an extra burst of color and flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately in glasses or cups, and enjoy your icy, refreshing slushy punch!
