I saw pickle slushes when we picked up a meal at Sonic Drive-In awhile back and almost got one. I've been regretting that decision of not buying one for awhile being intrigued by the idea of that flavoring and decided to mix up a diy variety at home. Been snacking on pickles this summer so when I finished off a jar of McClure's Garlic Dill decided to use the left over juice in it to make some slushes.
Now a lot of you may be apprehensive about drinking a pickle slush but have to say it really did make for a tasty treat. The garlic complimented the lemon-lime flavor making for an interesting flavor combination. If you like Bloody Mary's you'll appreciate this frozen drink.
I'm absolutely going to be using this Pickle Slush recipe again. In fact, next time I make up a batch maybe will add a shot of Vodka to the ingredients. Something out of the ordinary to drink while enjoying a sci-fi movie to make you feel you've been transported to another time or place. Do you think they served these at the Mos Eisley cantina on Tatooine? Whether you got that Star Wars reference or not give a Pickle Slush a try!
What do you get when mixing together Sprite, lemon/lime syrup, McClure's Pickles and crushed ice? PICKLE SLUSHIES! We all know that Scooby and Shaggy from the Mystery Inc. have insatiable appetites and will eat just about anything. So this week's Camp Warner Bros. challenge was to make up a unique Scooby Snack to enjoy while watching Scooby-Doo!: WrestleMania Mystery!
I'd seen last year during a visit to Sonic Drive-In they were selling Pickle Slushies and thought we'd make our own variety at home for this week's Camp Warner Bros. project. This recipe just seemed like the out of the ordinary type of thing you might see Scooby and Shaggy snack on in one of their cartoon mystery adventures. Since teaming up with WWE brings its own zaniness to this animated movie Pickle Slushies seemed like a fun Scooby Snack to enjoy during this week's Camp Warner Bros family movie night.
When Shaggy and Scooby win tickets to WrestleMania®, they convince the entire Mystery Inc. gang to travel to WWE City in the Mystery Machine to enjoy the show. But the trip quickly turns into another mystery as WWE City is full of secrets! A mysterious ghostly bear appears and threatens to ruin the show and steal the championship title belt. With the help of WWE Superstars John Cena®, Triple H®, Sin Cara®, Brodus Clay®, AJ Lee™, The Miz®, Santino®, and Kane® - Scooby-Doo and The Mystery Inc. gang team up to solve the case before it is too late!
