Raspberry Citrus Slushies

2/3 C orange juice

3/4 C fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)

3/4 C sugar

3/4 C water

4 1/2 C ice
1/2 C raspberries (frozen would be okay)

2 T powdered sugar (more to taste if needed)

2 T water

Place the 3/4 C water and 3/4 C granulated sugar in a cup or bowl and stir until sugar is dissolved. It might seem impossible at first, but it will come together in only a few minutes. You can whisk it for a minute, then move on to the next step, and come back to stir periodically. Set aside. Place raspberries, powdered sugar, and 2 T water in a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and add a little more powdered sugar if it's too tart still. If you don't have a food processor you could probably just smash them to a pulp! Then run the mixture through a strainer to remove seeds. Use a rubber spatula or small spoon to stir and the puree will fall through. Combine orange juice, lemon juice, and 3/4 C of the sugar water mixture. Place the ice cubes in a blender, pour the juice mixture over, and process until perfectly slushy. If you need a little more liquid to process it, add the rest of the sugar syrup. You can always add more juice if you need to. Too juicy? Add more ice.

Grab some glasses and divide your raspberry puree into the bottoms of each (It will just be a tablespoon or two). This will make 4 larger drinks and 6 small ones. Then pour the slushy mix right on top of it and watch the amazing color show begin! 
Garnish with some mint and throw a couple of fresh raspberries on there.
