Ingredients
- 3 cups apple cider
- 3 cups ice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the apple cider, ice, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a high-powered blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy.
- Pour immediately into glasses and sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.
- Serve immediately while cold and frozen.
Notes
- Keep It Cold: Refrigerated cider helps create a thicker, frostier slushie than room-temperature cider.
- Use the Right Ratio: Three cups each of cider and ice gave us the best balance of strong apple flavor and thick slushy texture.
- Don't Overblend: Stop as soon as the ice is fully crushed and the mixture is smooth and thick. Continued blending warms the drink and makes it thinner.
- Serve Immediately: The texture will gradually thin as the ice melts.
