Tips:
- For a thicker slushie, use less water.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different flavor profile.
- For a fun adult twist, add a splash of grenadine or cherry liqueur (optional).
- Freeze leftover slushie mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Thaw slightly before blending again.
