Put on a big red smile. Now you can learn how to make a Slurpee from the popular convenience store, complete with brain freeze. You must have a blender to make this copycat 7-Eleven cherry Slurpee recipe, and enough room to stick that blender into your freezer to get it nice and thick. This recipe gets close to the original with Kool-Aid mix and a little help from cherry extract, but you can make this drink with any flavor Kool-Aid mix (if you decide to make some variations, don't worry about adding extract). This recipe makes enough to fill one of those giant-size 32-ounce cups you find at the convenience store. Now I should hack the spoon-straws. Click here for more 7-Eleven Drinks & Snacks.

Instructions
1. Pour 1 cup of the club soda into a blender. Add the sugar, Kool-Aid mix, and cherry extract. Blend this until all of the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add the crushed ice and blend on high speed until the drink is a slushy, smooth consistency, with no remaining chunks of ice.
3. Add the remaining club soda and blend briefly until mixed. You may have to stop the blender and use a long spoon to stir up the contents.
4. If necessary, put the blender into your freezer for 1/2 hour. This will help thicken it up. After 1/2 hour remove blender from freezer and, again, blend briefly to mix.
Makes one 32-ounce drink (or two 16-ouncers).

This was so close in flavor to the original cherry slurpee. I had a hard time finding cherry flavoring so I used cherry 7Up, the Kool-Aid, and an extra cup of ice. A quick and easy treat! Made and reviewed for the Alphabet Tag game.

Just like the real thing. Made it for my little bros, now they won't stop asking me to make it for them! Good thing its so quick and easy. But, I've always found 7 elevens slurpees a bit too runny for my liking. So I add a cup more of ice since my brothers don't have the patience for it to chill in the freezer ;)
