What you'll need

2 cups cranberry juice (480 ml)
1 cup orange juice (240 ml)
2 tbsp honey
18 frozen juice cubes (about)
1 cup cold lemon-lime soda (240 ml)
orange wheels

How to make it

Stir the juices and honey until the honey dissolves, pour into ice cube trays and freeze at least 4 hours.
Put the cubes in a blender with the soda. Pulse and then blend until just slushy and still thick.
Spoon into tall glasses straight away and add a straw.
Glass: Tall glasses. Garnish: A thin orange wheel on the rim.

Chef's secrets

Add the soda a little at a time; too much turns the slush to juice.

A frozen banana makes it creamier for very young children.
