Top Tips
- Like it extra thick? Adjust the Slushy Machine to your desired consistency.
- Swap spiced rum for a coconut rum for a tropical twist.
- If your slushy isn’t freezing then add more sugar. If your slushy is too frozen, add more liquid
- For an alcohol-free version, simply leave out the rum. The slushy is just as delicious on its own.
