How Much Do I Need?

Each batch makes roughly 10-12 drinks. Here's a quick guide:

Under
15
guests
1 machine + refill ready
Over
15
guests
2 machines = 2 flavors! 🎉

Pro tip: Most hosts grab 2 machines—one boozy, one for the kids. No waiting, no refilling, everyone's happy.

02

Machine Strategy

Keep the party moving with Back-to-Back Slushing tactics.

1 Machine Setup

Perfect for smaller groups. Once a batch is low, pour in your pre-chilled refill. Because the machine is already cold, the second batch slushes in half the time.

2 Machine Setup

The "Pro" choice. Run a Boozy option in one and an N/A option in the other. This ensures everyone has a frozen drink in hand at all times.

Quick Timeline

Morning Of

1. CHILL

Fridge all liquids. Cold liquids slush 2x faster than room temp.

45 Mins Before

2. POUR

Mix and pour into the tank. Press the SLUSHASSIST button to start the cycle.

Party Time

3. ENJOY

Serve and top off. If refilling, use pre-chilled liquids for faster results.

After Party

Quick Rinse

Drain leftovers, pour in warm water, run 2 min. We handle the deep clean when you return the machine.

⏱️ Heads up: Slush machines aren't instant! Plan for 30-45 minutes for the first batch to reach perfect consistency. Refills freeze faster since the machine is already cold.
⚡ POWER REQUIREMENT: The machine requires a dedicated standard power outlet within 6 feet. No extension cords or power strips allowed to ensure the motor can freeze properly!

Pro Tips

Sugar = Slush

Use sugary drinks—diet or sugar-free won't freeze into slush properly.

Wall Power

Plug directly into a wall outlet. No thin extension cords.

No Pulp

Strain juices with pulp. Bits can clog the machine's moving parts.

Fill Line

Don't overfill! Liquid expands as it freezes into slush.
