slushies

Icy flavored beverages

Slushies are frozen drinks made from flavored ice crystals, served at a consistency between liquid and solid.

The texture comes from continuously churning flavored syrup and water as it freezes, creating a drinkable slush.

Sold at convenience stores and movie theaters, slushies are sweet, brightly colored, and served with a straw-spoon: We grabbed slushies at 7-Eleven.

Also spelled slushees.
