Cherry Coke Slushies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Freezing Base

01 - 2 cups of frozen cherries, no pits
02 - Juice squeezed from 2 limes

→ Decorations

05 - Maraschino cherries for topping (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Pour 12 oz (1 1/2 cups) of Coca-Cola into ice trays. Let them solidify in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours.
02 - Add lime juice, the rest of the Coca-Cola (2 cups or 1 1/2 cups if adding alcohol), and frozen cherries into a blender. Toss in the cola ice cubes and bourbon, if you’re using it. Blend until everything’s icy and smooth, scraping the blender sides now and then, for 1 to 2 minutes.
03 - Split the icy beverage between chilled glasses. Add a lime slice and maraschino cherries to each, if you like.
