how to store Blue Lagoon Slush Drink

It’s best to serve the Blue Lagoon Slush Drink fresh for optimal flavor and texture. If you have leftovers, you can store the soda and blue mixture separately in the refrigerator. However, the crushed ice will melt and dilute the drink, so it’s not recommended to store a pre-made slush drink for later consumption.
