ORDERING: When you walk up to the truck, you'll need to make a few decisions. First, what is the base flavor you want. Your options are Ginger [spicy], Tea [sweet], Citrus [tart] or any combination of the three. Next, you'll have to choose your mix-in(s). With so many changing options, it is hard to list them here, but some I have seen include mint, mango, cherry, green apple, blueberry, caramelized pineapple and the list goes on. Finally, choose your size. I find that the medium ($4) is the perfect size for my walk and leaves my coworkers jealous and curious about the final few sips left in my cup.
And before I get to the concoctions that I've created on my numerous trips I need to add one more, very important, note. Every time I have visited the truck, I have been greeted by some of the friendliest New Yorkers I have met. Offering up suggestions both in person and on Twitter, you can't help but smile and talk with the
staff
…that sounds so bland. Friends is much more fitting.
On to the Slushies! My first visit, I was so eager to try everything I needed to take a minute and really narrow down my options. So I asked for help! After a minute of tossing ideas around, it was suggested that I try a Tea/Citrus Slush with white peach. Built in layers of freezing cold deliciousness, each flavor stands apart. But then you take your straw and start to swirl and mix the separations into one cohesive uber flavor. Absolutely to die for!
On my next trip, I received a new suggestion via Twitter. Ginger with Blueberry. The ginger is very strong and spicy. My first few sips made me doubt my friend's suggestion. But as the slush started to melt and mix in with the sweet blueberries it all came around. I don't know if I would get another full base of Ginger but I think that mixing it with the citrus or tea would make for a nice balance.
The last flavor combination I would like to mention is Tea with White Peach and Mint. The tea and peach were sweet and paired really nicely together. The mint really threw me for a loop. There was actually a scoop of chopped mint leaves in my slushie. The flavor was so so crisp and fresh and really cut through the sweetness. Here was my problem though. Drinking leaves. It tasted delicious. But every sip I took, I couldn't get used to drinking leaves. For all you mojito lovers out there, go ahead and mint it up! But as tasty as it was, I think I'll stick with my plant-free slushies.
