Notes
- Adjust sugar amount based on how sweet or tart you prefer your slushy.
- TajÃn seasoning adds a spicy, tangy flavor that complements the pickle juice well but is optional.
- You can substitute fruit punch Kool-Aid with other flavors if desired, but fruit punch gives a nice balance to the pickle zing.
- Serve immediately for best texture to prevent the slushy from melting too quickly.
