Cherry Slurpee

Here's a clone recipe for that popular convenience store slush that most everyone knows from the excruciating brain freeze that follows a big gulp. You must have a blender to make this clone of 7-11's Slurpee, and enough room to stick that blender into your freezer to get it nice and thick. This recipe gets close to the original with Kool-Aid mix and a little help from cherry extract, but you can make this drink with any flavor Kool-Aid mix (if you decide to make some variations, don't even worry about extract). This recipe makes enough to fill one of those giant-size 32-ounce cups you find at the convenience store. Now if we could just figure out how to make those funky spoon-straws.

2 cups cold club soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon Cherry flavored unsweetened Kool-Aid Mix
1/2 teaspoon cherry extract
2 1/2 cups crushed ice

Pour 1 cup of the club soda into a blender. Add the sugar, Kool-Aid mix, and cherry extract. Blend this until all of the sugar is dissolved. Add the crushed ice and blend on high speed until the drink is a slushy, smooth consistency, with no remaining chunks of ice. Add the remaining club soda and blend briefly until mixed. You may have to stop the blender and use a long spoon to stir up the contents. If necessary, put the blender into your freezer for 1/2 hour. This will thicken it. After 1/2 hour remove blender from freezer and, again, blend briefly to mix.
