Note
For a thicker slushie texture, use more ice cubes or blend the mixture longer.
If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries work well and will make the drink even colder.
Serve immediately to prevent the ice from melting and diluting the flavor.
You can adjust the sweetness by adding a teaspoon of honey or agave if desired, though the orange juice usually provides enough natural sweetness.
