Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Frutista Freeze
- Chill ingredients beforehand: Keep the soda and piña colada mix refrigerated for the best frozen texture
- Ice quality matters: Use fresh ice for cleaner flavor—old freezer ice can pick up odors
- Blending technique: Start with pulses before full blending to prevent air pockets
- Serve immediately: These drinks melt quickly, so enjoy right after blending
- Consistency tip: Blend for less time if you prefer a chunkier ice texture like the original
- Pre-chill glasses: For an extra-cold drink that stays frozen longer, place serving glasses in the freezer for 15 minutes before pouring
- Brand selection: Name-brand lemon-lime sodas tend to work better than generic versions for authentic flavor
