This Copycat 7-Eleven Cherry Slurpee recipe is a MUST-MAKE during the summer months! Easily make your own homemade Cherry Slurpees with a few simple ingredients and a blender at home.

Is there anything that screams summer more than a Cherry Slurpee from 7-Eleven!? When I was growing up, getting a 7-Eleven Cherry Slurpee in a Big Gulp cup was a right of passage as soon as we were out of school for the summer. Sadly, 7-Elevens aren't easily found where we live now, so I've discovered the easiest way to share this yummy frozen beverage with my daughter during the summer months is to make a copycat version at home.

Homemade Slurpee Recipe

This Copycat 7-Eleven Cherry Slurpee recipe (also known as a Cherry Icee) is super easy to make with cherry-flavored Kool-Aid and a few other simple ingredients. This is one of those recipes that once you make you'll start to crave, especially when the temperatures start to really heat up!

Though the classic 7-Eleven Slurpee is Wild Cherry flavored, you can use any flavor of unsweetened Kool-Aid drink mix to create your own Slurpee drinks at home. Some of our other favorites are Grape and Blue Raspberry Slurpees.
