2 Zip-top bags (one larger and one smaller, I usually do a quart-size and a sandwich size)

Place ice cubes and salt in a quart-sized Ziploc bag.
Place juice in a sandwich-sized Ziploc bag, press out all the air and seal tightly. If it isn't sealed tightly enough, salt will get in and it won't taste good.
Place the small bag of juice IN the larger bag of ice and seal. The larger bag will be holding the ice, salt, and the baggie of juice.
*PLEASE NOTE: You will have two separate bags - a quart bag with ice and salt, and a sandwich bag with juice.
Shake for about 3-5 minutes or until juice gets slushy. Using gloves, mittens, or a towel will protect your hands and also keep the ice from melting too fast.
If your slushy isn't getting slushified. Add more ice and salt to the outer bag and keep shaking.
Pour slush into a cup and serve immediately.

Make sure the inner bag is sealed very tightly before shaking. If salt water leaks in, the slushy will taste salty.
If the slushy isn’t freezing after a few minutes, add more ice and a little more salt to the outer bag and keep shaking.
Wrap the bag in a towel or wear gloves while shaking. Keeping the bag cold the entire time helps the slushy freeze faster and will also protect your hands.
