Method
- PRE-GUEST PREP: Start your Spiked Slush at least 1 hour before guests arrive. Extra time may be needed. Refer to the Hard Alcohol/Spirit Guidelines section for more details.
- PRESET IT: Start by using the Spiked Slush preset and temperature level 9. If your slush is still too thin after 1 hour, increase to temperature level 10 for an extra 30 minutes.
- FOLLOW ALCOHOL GUIDELINES: If using hard alcohol/spirits, use 4 oz for every 24 oz of total recipe size. Refer to the Hard Alcohol/Spirit Guidelines section for more details.
- DISPENSE TO MAKE ROOM: If your recipe is not slushing at max capacity, you may need to dispense some liquid to enjoy on the rocks and make room for dilution of ingredients.
- ALCOHOL GUIDELINES: Host your party inside. Use your party environment over 100°F. Use your Ninja SLUSHi in an environment. DO NOT display only indoors.
- DON'T OVERDO IT: Ensure your recipe's total alcohol content is between 2.8% and 16%. A high-alcohol alert will display if the unit detects too much.
- DILUTE TO TROUBLESHOOT: If a drink exceeds the maximum amount, add 1/4 cup water, soda, seltzer, or preferred liquid per serving. Wait another 30 minutes and repeat if needed.
- LOW/NO-SUGAR MIXERS: Use low/no-sugar mixers ONLY if you are making a spiked slush with alcohol. You CANNOT use only low/no-sugar mixers without alcohol.
- SLUSH IS TOO FROZEN? If your preset temperature drink that's too temperature results in a liquid while it is too frozen, add 1/2 cup of 2 temperature levels and lower.
- TO CREATE FROZEN COCKTAILS: see the chart to the left for the maximum hard alcohol/spirit/spike (vodka, tequila, etc.) content per total recipe size.
