Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients needed: ice cubes, lemon-lime soda, blue and cherry sports drinks, grenadine, and cold water.
  2. Add Ice to Blender: Place 2 cups of ice cubes into a blender to create the frozen base of the treat.

  5. Add Cherry Sports Drink: Carefully add 1/2 cup of cherry sports drink to contribute a sweet and vibrant flavor.
  6. Add Grenadine: Drizzle 1/4 cup of grenadine syrup over the mixture, adding a rich sweetness and deep red hue.
  7. Add Cold Water: Pour 1/2 cup of cold water into the blender to help blend the mixture smoothly.

Notes

  • You can customize the flavors by using different sports drink flavors or sodas according to your preference.
  • For a sweeter treat, increase the amount of grenadine slightly.
  • To make Bomb Pop popsicles, ensure the molds are sealed tightly and sticks are firmly inserted before freezing.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, blend a bit longer but avoid melting the ice.
  • Serve immediately when consumed as a drink to enjoy the best icy consistency.
