Pineapple Strawberry Swirled Slushies

1. Prepare the Pineapple Slush

1. Blend Ingredients:
   • In a blender, combine 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, and 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (if using). Add 1 cup ice cubes.
2. Blend Until Smooth:
   • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or add a little more juice if the mixture is too thick.
3. Set Aside:
   • Transfer the pineapple slush to a bowl or pitcher and set aside.

2. Prepare the Strawberry Slush

1. Blend Ingredients:
   • In the same blender (no need to clean it), combine 2 cups frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup strawberry juice or water, and 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (if using). Add 1 cup ice cubes.
2. Blend Until Smooth:
   • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy. Again, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or adjust the consistency with a bit more juice or water if needed.
3. Set Aside:
   • Transfer the strawberry slush to a bowl or pitcher and set aside.

3. Swirl the Slushies

1. Layer in Glasses:
   • Take two glasses and spoon a layer of pineapple slush into each glass.
2. Add Strawberry Slush:
   • Spoon the strawberry slush on top of the pineapple slush in each glass.
3. Create Swirls:
   • Use a straw or a long spoon to gently stir the slushes together, creating a swirled effect. Be careful not to over-mix; you want to retain the distinct layers for a beautiful presentation.

4. Garnish and Serve

1. Add Garnishes:
   • Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, fresh strawberries, or mint leaves if desired.
2. Serve Immediately:
   • Serve the slushies immediately while they are still icy and refreshing.

Tips for Perfection

• Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit is key to achieving a slushy texture without needing to add extra ice, which can dilute the flavor.
• Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey or agave syrup based on the sweetness of your fruit and personal preference.
• Layering Technique: For a more defined swirl, layer the slushes slowly and gently mix to avoid blending the colors too much.
