Today we'll make a simple Slushie Daiquiri with the new Ninja Slushi Machine. At the time of this video the machine appears to still be out of stock.

Quick tips to get you slushing:
Sugar: You need sugar for two reasons... First, sugar lowers the freezing point allowing you to make a slushy. Without it, you won't be able to get the machine to slush. Second, sugar aids in the creation of small ice crystals and the small ice crystal is what the slushie is all about. Not enough sugar and the drink is not cold enough and the texture is not pleasant.

Aim for your Brix to be 12-15. That's 12-15% sugar by weight for your total mix. To calculate the brix you can use the slushie calculator or just figure out the grams of sugar in your total mix. The grams of sugar per 100 grams of your mix will give you the Brix (10 grams of sugar in 100 grams of mix = 10 degrees brix). Refractometers do not work when alcohol is involved, so if using one you need to measure before adding alcohol and you'll need to do some extra math.

Alcohol: like sugar, alcohol works as an antifreeze lowering the freezing point of your mix. Too much alcohol and the machine will not be able to get the mix into a slush. The machine says it can do 16% ABV but I have difficulty doing anything more than 13%.
