Amy’s Wicked Slush

Some East Coasters might call it Italian Water Ice. Amy’s calls it slush. The name doesn’t matter. It’s just good. Flavors include mango, black cherry, watermelon, coconut, and cotton candy. It’s fantastic on its own, but make it even better by mixing in soft serve ice cream. Think root beer slush with vanilla soft serve, or go for a fruity mix like lemon slush and blueberry soft serve. amyswickedslush.com
