Awesome attention to detail. It makes me want to try a similar setup with a home ice cream maker. It's the same concept: a rotary element that circulates liquid over a below-freezing mass and mixes the solids with the liquids. There's no active refrigeration, and I doubt it could hold a frozen drink at temp like the Slushi, but it could be a quick and dirty cheap way to achieve 95% of the same product: mix and chill cocktail with the right brix/abv, throw it in the frozen ice cream maker, and serve.

@paulg6778
@paulg6778 Ай бұрын
My guess is you would have to add a lot less than with the blended drink recipes in Tropical Standard, since the xanthan will hydrate more fully hanging out in a slushy machine than it does just getting spun briefly into one serving. But I’d be curious to see too!
@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink Ай бұрын
I haven’t been willing to potentially waste a batch. Xanthan needs to be dispersed in a a vortex which means you’d need to use a blender to make your mix first. You could do that, but then it’s seems like you could just use the blender with ice. I’ve never seen anyone actually say that xanthan should be used in a slushie machine, but there may be some other emulsifiers more qualified for the job. But it’s really not as necessary in these drink as in blender drinks. These keep consistency really well and when they do separate it’s not as noticeable as a blender drink.

You can make those drinks it's just they'll need significantly more water. I've heard of slushie Manhattans. IMO, you don't want these drinks to be strong anyways. Most of the water you add turns to ice and its not like when you are drinking them that they have diluted the drink... you're basically consuming the ice as well (if that makes any sense)

I have just received a Ninja Slushi unit and tried making a Pina Colada using 3 cups of Pina Colada mix (Master of Mixes) and 1 cup of water. I did not add rum to the mixture ( added it to the glass instead). I chose the "Slushi" default setting and the mixture turned to slushi consistency in roughly 15 minutes without any "low sugar" alerts. I found that the slushi seemed to have more of a syrup-like consistency than what I would consider a slushi. I imagine (guess) that I will have a more slushi-like consistency by adding more water, but I am asking for thoughts / suggestions from the user community that might have already figured out the best proportions for this drink. Thanks in advance!

There's a bunch of reasons why I wouldnt do it. First, I've only seen one frozen recipe online that calls for xanthan in a slushy machine and the reputable ones I've seen don't call for it. Second, to disperse properly xanthan needs to be added quickly like the vortex of a blender. And lastly, when I did add some it ruined the drink. Too slimy. Doesnt work the same in a slushy machine as it does in a blender.

@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink 20 күн бұрын
1/3? Of what? A Manhatten? Most cocktails get dilution from ice which lowers the ABV. Most cocktails are served on ice, which lowers the ABV even more. A frozen cocktail (slushie or blender) you consume the ice as you drink it. They’re different kinds of drinks. Drink the entirely of a Mai Tai, Margarita or any other similar cocktail and you’re under 7%ABV Everything is relative, yet still not for everyone. If ABV is the biggest concern someone has then cocktails, beer and wine are not what they are looking for. Drinking spirits neatly is probably more desirable.

It’s hard to compare it to blender style because they are so different. The biggest downsides to this machine are it only does 64 oz (so like 5-7 cocktails) and while cleaning is easy it’s still a process. If someone was using it once a month then maybe not worth $300. But if you plan on using it more often and non-alc drinks then it makes sense. Making a slushy from juice, soda, etc is super easy. But it’s so damn hot here right now so I love it. Will I love it come winter? Probably not.

@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink 29 күн бұрын
Not sure if I’m following exactly, but if you’re adding a room temp ingredient (your alcohol) to the machine that already has a mix at the slushie stage then it will drastically drop the temp and come out of slushie consistency. It’s not going to come back to the right temp immediately. Will take time. It also just probably wouldn’t work the way you want it to. The mix you start with would have too high a sugar % and the machine won’t work. Plus you want the water in to spirit to work with the sugar to make the right texture since most of your spirits are 60% water.

But I did make some Hawaiian Punch that was non-alc at 4.5 and it was wild how much less cold it was than the ones at 10-15 brix I'm sure someone smarter than I am can figure out a spreadsheet where you can plug in brix and abv and it tells you how much water to add

Thanks so much for this info!

Also what happens when you dump wine into it lol
@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink Ай бұрын
Not sure about the artificial sugar + ABV. In addition to sugar working as an antifreeze, it also changes the texture of the drink. More sugar = smaller ice crystals. There are artificial sweeteners that can aid in slushing, but I haven’t tried them. So part of the slushie experience is those very small ice crystals, and if that’s not the goal for someone or if you’re okay with larger ice crystals that would come from high ABV low sugar, it makes more sense to use a blender. You could add wine but you’d still need sugar to get the right texture.

A couple very important differences. First, these keeps a consistent temperature. An ice cream maker with a frozen bowl or ice+salt drops in temp immediately and never stops dropping temp.

All depends on if the sweetener lowers freezing points. Some of it is textural, but it’s also about temperature when the liquid will freeze.

Do the recipes in the book thoroughly explain how to mix it properly? Also do they give a good recipe for a Frozen daqori as well

I’ve not followed any recipes from the book. They all call for some type of “mix” and that’s not the style I’m looking to make.

Most of the recipes are fruit mix based and not simple cocktails. But I have a great frozen daiquiri I’ll share soon.

What about say a Bacardi premix bottle? Could you go to the liquor store grab one and dump it in? My son is getting one for his birthday and was wondering if that’d be a simple adult drink possibility?

I’ve never used them so I don’t know. But if the sugar and ABV are right it should work.

Love this video, but quick question. Did you or need to add xanthan gum?
@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink Ай бұрын
I’ve not seen any sources that say to use xanthan in a slushy machine. Generally it needs a vortex to disperse.

Yes you can use your blender but with that you use ice which waters your ingredients down. With a machine it freezes the actual ingredients no watering down 😏

You're adding water regardless of the method, but texture is the biggest differentiating factor between the two methods.

I can’t wait until they’re back in stock. It’ll take time to get a good set of “go to” recipes. - some kind of coffee drink with Kahlua - vodka lemonade - mango margarita (maybe tweak your recipe with mango juice instead of lime juice?) - rum and coke - maybe 50/50 mix of regular and Diet Coke? The list goes on….

I'm sure in time there will be more recipes available, how many of those recipes will be quality ones is the bug qiestion. Diet sodas won't slush in these machines but they may when you add alcohol. You need something (sugar and or alcohol) to lower the freezing point. Interested to see if that works by just leaning on the ABV instead of sugar

I definitely didn’t plan on buying this if I have to do math and resort to spreadsheets! It should’ve been just as it appears to be “a slushi of whatever liquid you put into it and it works” it brags on the fact that you don’t need ice so why would I want to add water! Hints the same as ice””” I’m not interested anymore! It’s just too much to deal with! Might as well stick to a blender!

Well I mean no one is making you use a spreadsheet. You can simply follow recipes you find online, in their book, or buy premade mixes with instructions. The spreadsheet is a simple way to build cocktails for people that want to make their own recipes and understand ABV and Brix. It’s not mandatory.
