Basil Limeade Slushies

I'm thinking these could be an alternative to this, but I haven't made them yet.

8 cups ice
4 cups water
3 cups fresh lime juice
3 cups lightly packed basil leaves, plus basil sprigs for garnish
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups soda water

In a blender, working in batches, blend the ice with the water, lime juice, basil leaves and sugar until slushy. Pour the limeade into chilled glasses. Top each with 2 TBS soda water, garnish with basil sprigs.

Sounds yummy...anyone else try these first-let me know! (Leslie-i bet you could sub some cherry flavoring in there) :)
