Ingredients You’ll Need for Peach Punch Slush

• 12 oz can frozen peach punch concentrate
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 large frozen bananas, each cut into 4 pieces
• About 24 ice cubes (roughly 4 cups)
• 1/2 cup grenadine syrup
• Orange slices and maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine the peach punch concentrate, water, lemon juice, and frozen banana pieces in a blender. Process for about 30 seconds, or until smooth and well combined. Remove half of this mixture and set aside.
2. Add half of the ice cubes to the blender through the lid’s opening, a few at a time, blending after each addition until smooth and slushy. Pour this first batch into a large pitcher.
3. Process the remaining peach mixture with the rest of the ice cubes until smooth. Add this to the pitcher and gently stir to keep the texture uniform while preserving color separation for serving.
4. Pour grenadine into the bottom of your serving glasses. For a deep layer, use about 4 teaspoons per 14 oz glass, or for smaller glasses use about 2 teaspoons per 6 oz glass. Adjust to taste and to achieve the visual “sunrise” effect.
5. Fill each glass about three-quarters full with the peach slush. Gently stir near the bottom so the peach mixture blends slightly with the grenadine and creates a layered look without losing the slush texture.
6. Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry skewered on a wooden pick, if desired. Serve immediately with a spoon or a wide straw.

Tips, Variations, and Serving Ideas

• For best texture, keep the bananas frozen until you’re ready to blend. Slightly frozen concentrate will also help maintain the slushy consistency.
• To make an adult version, add a small splash of rum or vodka to individual glasses just before serving—stir gently to incorporate.
• If you prefer a lighter sweetness, reduce the grenadine or swap it for pomegranate juice for a less syrupy layer.
• Prepare the peach blend ahead of time and freeze in an airtight container. Break up and re-blend briefly with a little ice before serving to refresh the slush.
• Serve in clear glasses to showcase the sunrise ombré effect. Garnishes like fresh peach slices or mint leaves add color and aroma.
