Ingredients
Let’s talk about the ingredients for this incredible Skittles Slushie that tastes as good as a rainbow!
- 1 – 14-ounce bag of original skittles
- 4 cups sugar
- 4 cups water
- 1⅔ cup lemon juice, divided
- 1 bottle seltzer
- ice
Preparation
- Separate the Skittles by color into 5 separate Mason jars.
- In a saucepan, stir together sugar and water and simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. The mixture should be clear, not cloudy.
- Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and pour 1/5 portion into each of the jars. Let them cool slightly. Secure lids on jars, shake, and let them sit for several hours or overnight.
- Before you make your slushie, shake each jar again and strain. Each color will yield roughly 1 ¼ cups of Skittles syrup.
- For each candy color, add 6 cups of ice to a blender, the Skittles syrup, and 1/3 cup of lemon juice. Blend until fully combined. The mixture will be a slushy, not chunky consistency.
- Pour into glasses (for a fun twist, try serving in food grade-safe chemistry beakers), stir in a splash of seltzer water to get some bubbles, and serve.
