Tips

• Pour your green apple juice and lime juice directly into the Slushi bowl at room temperature, don't chill it beforehand, since the machine does the freezing work.
• Check the consistency around the 30-minute mark by looking through the viewing window, then give it a few more minutes if it's still slushy rather than icy.
• If your slush turns rock-hard and won't dispense, run warm water through the tap for 10-15 seconds to loosen it up without removing the bowl.

Variations

• Swap half the green apple juice for ginger ale to add fizz and spice to the drink.
• Mix in a splash of white rum or vodka before pouring into the bowl for an adult version, keeping the lime juice as your main sour note.
• Use fresh-squeezed green apple juice instead of bottled for a brighter, less processed flavor that freezes just as smoothly.

FAQ

Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh?

Yes, bottled lime juice works fine and will freeze normally in the Slushi. Fresh lime juice tastes brighter, but bottled is convenient and reliable.

Why isn't my slush getting thick enough after 45 minutes?

Check that your juice isn't too warm when you pour it in, and make sure the Slushi bowl is sitting flat and level in the machine. If the bowl isn't making contact properly, the liquid won't freeze as it churns.

How long can I keep the slush in the machine after it's done?

The Slushi will keep the slush cold for several hours, but texture gets icier the longer it sits. Best served within 1-2 hours of reaching your desired consistency.

Can I make a lighter, less sweet version?

Absolutely, reduce the apple juice and add plain water or unsweetened sparkling water to cut the sweetness while keeping plenty of lime juice for tartness.
