Notes

FOR A NEW TWIST: Swap the strawberries for raspberries for a slightly less sweet slush. Our taste-testers preferred the raspberry version of this recipe. Duane Crabbe, our advertising sales manager, had the lovely (but sadly not tested) idea of using champagne in place of the soda for a refreshing summer bubbly cocktail. Let us know how it tastes!
