Keep cool and join in on the frosty fun as we celebrate National Juice Slush Day on May 15! For those who may not know, a juice slush is a deliciously refreshing concoction made by freezing a mixture of juice and water, then scraping or grinding it to create a delightful icy texture. This sweet treat got its roots in the ancient times of the Roman Empire, where they use to bring snow from the mountains and mix it with fruit juice. So, let's raise a cup to this icy-cold tradition and take time to appreciate the wonderful ways we can keep cool, one sweet, slushy sip at a time!
