A fruity slush drink perfect for cooling off in the summer or celebrating Valentine’s Day!
I love to make the family a fancy and fun dinner for Valentine’s Day each year. I try to make food I know my kids will really like, even if it’s not the same dishes the adults will be devouring, so they enjoy their dinner too and don’t miss out on the best part – dessert!
Even the beverages keep with the Valentine’s theme. We’ve tried strawberry milk, or spoiled them with Cream Soda for special pink and red drinks, but this year I’ve come up with a cool treat, since slushies are their favourite! I call it Cherry Crush!
Cherry Crush Slush
- 1/12 Cups cold Gingerale (one can)
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Cherry Kool-aid
- 3 Cups ice
- Add gingerale, sugar and cherry kool-aid to blender and blend until mixed.
- Add in ice and pulse until ice is crushed and you have a smooth consistency
- Pour into 4 cups and add a straw
This slush reminds me of winters at the arena watching my brother play hockey, if I was lucky I got slush puppy while I waited. Do you remember the slush puppies? Maybe they still make them at some arenas today!
Perfect for a Valentine’s treat and a great way to cool off in the summer, the Cherry Crush Slush is a winner all year round! Go ahead and experiment with different flavours, Cherry is a classic though!

I love this idea and just might have to use it. My kids are big fans of slushy type drinks and this would be a great way to make Valentine’s a bit more special. Sweet!

I would’ve been psyched for this treat as a kid. My son has yet to try a slush drink…. but it won’t be long til he discovers their awesomeness!
the boys drank slushies a lot in Jamaica, so they are super excited that you can make them at home!
I’d love a cherry slushie about now

This slush looks looks really good but the downfall is there’s too much sugar for my liking.
