A visual representation shows "6 preset settings" with an arrow pointing to the left, and "Temperature control" with an arrow pointing to the right, with the control panel displayed in between.

Required Sugar Content

Insufficient sugar or excessive alcohol can impede the freezing process of a slush output. To ensure perfect results every time, follow the guidelines below.

All ingredients used must have a sugar content of at least 4%.

NOTE: Pre-frozen ingredients tend to taste sweeter. If you're concerned that your drink might end up overly sweet, don't worry. Once it's frozen and turned into a slushy frozen drink, it won't taste as sweet as you might expect.

Sugar Guidelines

Refer to drink/liquid nutrition label to ensure sugar content meets the recommended minimums below:

NOTE: Sugar-free substitutes or artificial sweeteners will not aid in meeting total minimum or maximum sugar requirements.

Alcohol Guidelines

Achieve the perfect balance for your favorite frozen cocktails right at home. When you're using the spiked slush preset, all premade ingredients (such as wine, beer, etc.) must have an alcohol content ranging from 2.8% to 16%.

Hard Alcohol/Spirit Guidelines

For making frozen cocktails, refer to the chart below to find out the maximum amount of hard alcohol/spirits (like vodka, tequila, etc.) per total recipe size.

Note: The chart above serves only as a guide for incorporating hard alcohol/spirits with an alcohol content of 35% or higher.

Tips & Tricks

Minimum input = 0.5L (17 oz) Maximum input = 1.6L (54 oz)
