Ingredients
  

  • 4 large ripe bananas
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) stevia, or to taste
  • 6 cups (1440 ml) water, divided / 1.4 L
  • 1 ½ cups pineapple juice / 360 ml (12.2 fl oz)
  • ½ cup frozen orange juice concentrate / 120 ml (4.1 fl oz)
  • ½ cup frozen lemon juice concentrate / 120 ml (4.1 fl oz)
  • 1 liter diet ginger ale, chilled / approx. 34 oz (964 g)
  • Use overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the sweetest natural flavor, which may allow you to use less stevia.
  • For a thicker, more spoonable slushy, let the frozen base thaw for 10-15 minutes before mixing with the ginger ale.
  • Elevate your presentation by garnishing each glass with a fresh mint sprig, a pineapple wedge, or a thin orange slice.
  • Feel free to swap the ginger ale with sparkling water or a lemon-lime soda for a different flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. In a high-powered blender, combine the ripe bananas, stevia, and 3 cups (720 ml) of water.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour in the pineapple juice, frozen orange juice concentrate, and frozen lemon juice concentrate.
  4. Blend again until all are fully incorporated.
  5. Add the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) of water and give the mixture one final blend to ensure a consistent, smooth liquid.
  6. Divide the base mixture evenly among three freezer-safe bottles or containers, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
  7. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  8. When ready to serve, empty one bottle of the frozen slushy mix into a large punch bowl or pitcher. Slowly pour one liter of chilled ginger ale over the top and gently stir to combine, breaking up the frozen base.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy the fizz!
