My notes

Tips

Use regular soda. Diet and zero-sugar sodas freeze rock hard and will not turn slushy. Ginger ale works too, for the original Shirley Temple.
Any red cherries work: cocktail, amarena or fresh pitted cherries. Some cocktail cherries are colored with carmine, which is not vegan, so check the label.
Too thick to sip? Add 2–4 tbsp cold soda and run Re-spin.

Texture not right?

Too soft or melts fast Icy or crunchy Soupy middle, crumbly edges

Why it works

Lemon-lime soda and grenadine together land at about 16% sugar, which freezes into soft, fine crystals instead of hard ice. Flattening the soda first stops it foaming over the fill line.
