Slushes with Mott’s Bold Juice Drinks
It has been a hot summer here in Atlanta and I do mean hot. We have seen many days in the high 90’s and I believe we even passed 100 degrees a time or two.
As part of the #MottsEveryday campaign, we got to try out their Mott's Juice Drinksand my kids loved them as much as I did. From the moment they arrived at the house, my son began to divide them up and then actually got upset that he had to include me in the division. LOL
In fact my son had an even more fabulous idea to make slushes. Nothing is better for beater the Georgia heat better than a slush. Even better when they are made with Mott’s.

BEATING THE HEAT
We got to try some really fun flavors including Mott's Wild Grape Surge which both of my girls really loved. My son and I both really liked the Mott's Fruit Punch Rush. My husband’s favorite flavor was Mott's Strawberry Boom.
My son even mixed all three and decided that he liked that the best so he used that to make his slush.
LOVING ON MOTT’S
These slushes were so easy to make. We simply froze the juice drink in large freezer bags for about 1 hour. Then we took them out and smashed them with a mallet to make them super chunky. My husband also crushed a little ice in the blender.
We put the ice in a glass and poured the juice right over it. Next we let loose and had some amazing slushes! They were delicious and refreshing. You should definitely try one!!

My two LOVE slushes! I have never made them at home before, but maybe I should!
Slushies are my favorite! I will have to try to make these- I’ve only ever gotten them at carnivals!
How fun! I think my kids would love this. We usually visit Sonic for slushes, but I’d love to just make them up at home!
I love slushies. They’re easy to make and they’re a healthier choice than ice cream, cookies, or other snacks. Mott’s Strawberry Boom juice sounds yummy.
I love slushies, and Mott’s juice is really good. That means this has got to be awesome.
Slushies are such fun, and my daughter loves Mott’s juice. I think I know what I’ll be making for snack time this weekend.
I think I’ll make these this weekend. Slushies are delicious, and the kids love them.
Those sound like great flavors and what a brilliant way to serve them. Definitely kid approved!
My kids will gobble these up! We love MOTTS brand juices. These look delicious.
I keep forgetting to pick some of this up when I am at the store. My kids have asked me to pick up a couple items tomorrow, so I think I will add this to my list! It looks like something even I would like.
I really like your idea of turning them into slushies. That sounds like a refreshing juicy treat!
