My cousin had a summer job at Richie’s Slush in Everett, MA. so I was able to do a private slush-tasting. There are more than 25 flavors and it bears no resemblance to sorbet or a snow cone and is more refined than a Slurpie. It comes with a spoon/straw thing to adequately scoop and slurp.

a few notable flavors

Honey Dew Melon – very refreshing
Sports Aide – a gatorade slush?
Sour Apple – like a Jolly Ranchers hard candy
Orange Cream -tastes exactly like Bayer’s baby aspirin
Pear – unique

It is summer fun at Richie’s – it is on Revere Beach Parkway in Everett but despite the name there is no beach in sight – I’ll give it the spirit of the beach though.
