Serves 7 · Sized for Ninja SLUSHi FS301 (64oz mix)

Ingredients

32 oz Shasta soda (any flavor), decarbonated by stirring vigorously for 2 minutes
16 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice or store-bought (pre-chilled)
8 oz simple syrup (1:1 sugar:water, pre-chilled)
4 oz water (pre-chilled)

Method

Decarbonate the Shasta soda by pouring into a bowl and stirring vigorously for 2 minutes to release carbonation.
In a pitcher, combine decarbonated Shasta, orange juice, simple syrup, and water. Stir to blend evenly.
Pour mixture into Ninja Slushi pitcher — fill to the 64 oz max fill line (you should have ~60 oz total).
Set machine to Slush mode. Start the freeze cycle.
Check texture at 35 minutes — slush should be scoopable but not icy. If too thin, wait 5–10 more minutes. If too icy, press the Thin button (Temperature Control Level 1–2) to adjust.

Garnish: Shasta bottle cap or bright cherry
