Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make Strawberry Slush
- In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water, and jell-o. Boil for 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Divide mixture into two separate containers (I use gallon-sized Ziploc bags) and freeze for at least 8 hours (it can store in the freezer for a long time, but if you want the “slushy” consistency, you will want to keep it in the freezer for at least 8 hours).
- If it is frozen solid, I usually pull it out of the freezer about 2 hours before I need to use it so that it can thaw a little bit.
- When ready to serve, place the slushy contents of the bag into a punch bowl and stir in a 2 liter of Sprite with it (if you need to serve a lot of people, you can add a second 2-liter of Sprite and it will still taste good). I like to slice up some fresh strawberries and throw them into the punch bowl.
- Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
If you do not like orange juice, you can swap it out for another juice such as grapefruit juice, passionfruit juice, pineapple juice, mango juice, or lemonade.
This recipe is made for drinking. However, if you want to preserve the recipe, you can make it into popsicles. The popsicles will loose a bit of carbonation, but the lemon-lime and strawberry flavor still comes through effectively. If you do not have popsicle molds, use plastic cups with the wax lining. They are easier to cut off and do not stick when frozen.

we are seriously kindred. I made a similar recipe TODAY for a get-together tonight! How funny. I’ll be posting it on my blog in a couple of weeks. Hope it was great!

Yikes! I live die this punch! We make it for all kinds of get togethers with different flavors/colors of jello, but strawberry is def my favorite! I’m so glad I’m not the only Chick that enjoys this heaven in a bowl! Thanks for the follow, I love your blog!
Super cute blog! Love that most of you live in different areas of the county and can share ideas from those various locations. Gonna try this recipe, looks refreshing. Thanks for becoming our newest follower, we in turn are your newest follower!
You think these would freeze well into popsicles?
About how many servings will this make with just one bottle of Sprite? Thinking of making for a bridal shower.
It will serve about 15-18 cups with one liter bottle of sprite. It really depends on how big your servings are.
Have you ever made this as an alcoholic punch with something like vodka?
I am also intrigued by a boozy version! Maybe use half the water initially like you would for Jell-O shots, and substitute the other half with vodka??
We make this when we go to the beach. I freeze it in ice cube trays. Then each day we put a few cubes in a cup, add grapefruit juice, alcohol of choice (usually Kinky Ruby) and top off with ginger ale. The punch cubes melt throughout the afternoon, making the drink perfect for our day by the ocean.
I’d like to make this – but not want to use it all at once, maybe rather a glass here and there! If I were to freeze in ice cube trays, about how much slush and sprite/glass? Thanks for any help!
I would add 1-2 cubes of the slush mix with an 8oz glass of sprite or gingerale (though you could easily add more or less to taste!)
Lemon juice?? Or lemonade??
We use lemon juice for this!
