New Year's Eve is when I first talked myself into a Frozen French 75 in the Ninja Slushi, and now it comes out anytime we want to feel fancy. Gin, lemon, simple syrup, and prosecco freeze into a slushy, bright, lemony drink that's classy and a little sneaky. My friend Priya, who insists she doesn't like gin, finished hers and asked what was in it. Strictly 21 and up. Don't go heavy on the gin thinking you'll improve it, because too much booze keeps the mix from freezing and you'll get a slushie that never sets.

Tips
- Pour your chilled gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, prosecco, and cold water directly into the Slushi bowl, then let the machine churn for 20-60 minutes until you get that perfect slushy texture.
- If your slush seems too thick to scoop after churning, run the machine for another 5-10 minutes to break up the ice crystals.
- Keep all ingredients cold before pouring, especially the prosecco, since the machine relies on the base temperature to freeze properly.
Variations
- Skip the prosecco and add extra cold water plus a splash of dry white wine for a lighter, less bubbly version.
- Use vodka instead of gin and add a teaspoon of elderflower liqueur for a floral twist on the classic.
FAQ
- Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?
- Yes, bottled works in a pinch, though fresh lemon juice gives you a brighter, sharper flavor that really shines in a frozen drink.
- Why isn't my slush freezing after 45 minutes?
- Make sure your ingredients are cold to start, check that the Slushi bowl is properly seated in the machine, and verify the mixture isn't too diluted with water, which can prevent proper freezing.
- How long can I keep the frozen French 75 in the machine before serving?
- You can keep it in the machine for up to 30 minutes after it finishes churning; beyond that it'll start to separate and become watery.
- What if I don't have simple syrup?
- Dissolve 1/4 cup sugar in 1/4 cup warm water, let it cool completely, then use it in place of store-bought syrup.
