Notes
- Chill Glasses First: Refrigerate glasses beforehand to keep the strawberry slush frosty and prevent rapid melting, ensuring a perfectly cool drinking experience.
- Adjust Sweetness Gradually: Add sugar in small increments, tasting between additions to prevent over-sweetening and maintain the drink’s natural fruit balance.
- Blender Power Matters: Use a high-powered blender to achieve a smooth, consistent texture without large ice or strawberry chunks for the best slushy consistency.
- Garnish with Precision: Place fresh mint and strawberry garnishes just before serving to maximize visual appeal and aromatic freshness, creating an Instagram-worthy beverage.
