Craving something cool and coffee-filled? Let me introduce you to the ultimate coffee slushy – simple, refreshing, and perfect for those hot afternoons (or whenever the coffee mood strikes, really). The best part? You can whip it up right at home with just a few essentials.
All you need are coffee ice cubes (yes, keep these stocked!), milk, a blender, and your favorite syrup. In no time, you’ll be sipping on a frosty treat that’ll keep you coming back for more. Ready to dive into coffee slushy bliss? Let’s do this!
Ingredients you need
- A tray of coffee ice cubes (pro tip: always have these ready to go!)
- Milk or your favorite milk alternative (whatever fits your vibe)
- Your go-to syrup – this time, I went with Monin’s Cookie Coco syrup, a gift that turned out to be a game-changer. Other flavors that seriously hit the spot? Cinnamon bun, pumpkin spice, or speculoos. Trust me, they’re so good in this slushy.
Step-by-step
How To Make a Coffee Slushy at Home
Step 1: Grab the jug of your blender and toss in those frozen coffee cubes.
Step 2: Add a cup of milk (or your favorite milk alternative) and a shot of syrup. Want it sweeter? Add two shots. I tried it, but honestly, two shots was a bit too sweet for me—your call!
Step 3: Blend it up until you get that dense, melted-snow texture that makes the perfect slushy.
Step 4: Pour into a serving glass and enjoy with a spoon or a reusable straw. Sip, savor, repeat!
Top Tip
If your slushy’s getting too thick, just splash in a bit more milk to loosen things up. It’ll thin it out perfectly without losing that creamy vibe.
On the flip side, if it’s looking a little too thin, toss in a few more coffee ice cubes and give it another blend. You’re aiming for that sweet spot where it’s icy and sippable but still thick enough to feel like a slushy treat—not just iced coffee!
Just a little tweak, and you’ll have it right where you want it.

A slushy is all about that perfect icy, slush-like texture. It’s not quite a drink, not quite a dessert—just somewhere blissfully in between. The key? Blending just the right amount of ice (or in our case, coffee ice cubes) until it reaches that magic spot where it’s thick and frosty but still sippable. It’s like a snow day in a cup, refreshing and satisfying all at once. So, if it’s icy, melts slowly, and gives you that chill vibe with every sip, you’ve nailed it.
