What each ingredient does

Frozen strawberries: Provide the main fruit flavour and body, and their juices give the drink its colour.
Orange sherbet: Adds sweetness and a creamy, frosty texture when blended with the ice.
Ice: Chills the drink and, as it blends, thickens it to a slushy texture.
Frozen peaches: Add sweet peach flavour and extra body to the blended fruit.
Cranberry juice: Adds tartness that balances the sweetness of the sherbet and fruit.
