Mango, strawberry and grape slushies blended with ice and a simple syrup, layered in a pitcher.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (105 g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
  • 3 cups (750 ml) ice cubes
  • 1 cup (185 g) fresh mango cut into pieces (about 1 large mango)
  • 1 cup (170 g) fresh strawberries cut into pieces
  • 1 cup (175 g) green seedless grapes

Directions

  • Simple syrup: warm the sugar and water in a small pot just until the sugar dissolves. Pour into an airtight container and let cool. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until fully cold.
  • Mango layer: in the frozen drink maker, blend 1 cup (250 ml) of the ice with the mango and 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the simple syrup, pulsing until smooth. Divide among the 4 glasses and keep them in the refrigerator.
  • Rinse out the pitcher. Do the same as in step 2 with the strawberries, and then again with the grapes.
  • Spoon the strawberry slush over the mango slush, then finish with the grape slush on top. Serve right away.

Notes

The simple syrup keeps 1 month in the refrigerator and can be used in other slush recipes. Times: prep 20 min, cooking 4 min, chilling 1 h. Alcohol-free (the syrup can also be used in cocktails).
