Do the electrolytes help it stay slushy instead of freezing or will it end up freezing anyways?

it’ll still freeze if it’s in there for too long, and I think at that point the seltzer component will have lost its fizziness. so you’re def aiming to not let it fully freeze over / do too much solidifying

I’m not totally sure about how carbonation interacts with the freezing process, so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems to me like the carbonation helps it develop a little more of a slushy texture (when only partway frozen) compared to freezing the electrolyte drink on its own but it’s great as a “POTS soda” even without freezing, too 🥤
