NOS Energy Vodka Slush

A NOS Energy Vodka Slush is exactly the dumb-fun drink it sounds like, and I make no apologies. My friends and I tried it before a late backyard game night and it became the unofficial fuel of the evening. The NOS freezes in the Ninja Slushi into this citrusy, sweet-tart slush, the vodka rides along quietly, and yeah, the caffeine keeps the party going longer than it probably should. Keep the vodka pour reasonable so it sets up thick instead of soupy. Use the regular NOS, not sugar-free, or it won't freeze. Adults only, and maybe don't make it a school night.

Directions

  1. 1Combine the cold NOS energy drink and vodka in a pitcher.
  2. 2Stir gently, then pour the mixture directly into the Slushi container.
  3. 3Select the SPIKED SLUSH program and let the machine freeze for 35 minutes.

Tips

  • Pour your NOS and vodka mixture directly into the Slushi bowl at room temperature, no pre-chilling needed.
  • Check the slush consistency after 30 minutes by looking through the side of the machine; it should be moving from liquid to slushy but still pourable.
  • If your slush is too thin after 45 minutes, the Slushi bowl might not be cold enough, so give it another 10-15 minutes of churning.
  • Use a slightly higher vodka-to-NOS ratio if you want a firmer slush that holds together better when scooped.

Variations

  • Swap half the NOS with Sprite or 7UP for a lighter citrus slush that's less intense.
  • Add a shot of rum or tequila alongside the vodka for a different spirit flavor while keeping the NOS as your base liquid.
  • Use diet or zero-sugar NOS Energy if you prefer less sweetness in your final slush.

FAQ

Can I use a different energy drink instead of NOS?
Yes, most caffeinated energy drinks work fine in the Slushi machine. Just pour it straight in and let it churn the same way.
Why is my slush still liquid after 45 minutes?
The Slushi bowl needs time to get cold; this can take 20-60 minutes depending on room temperature. Make sure the machine is plugged in and the bowl is properly seated inside.
Can I store leftover slush in my freezer?
Leftover slush can go in a regular freezer for a few hours, but it will harden into ice rather than stay slushy, so drink it fresh from the machine for the best texture.
What if I want it less sweet?
Mix your NOS with plain soda water or sparkling water before pouring into the machine to cut the sweetness while keeping the energy drink flavor.
