FAQs
Is a slushie machine better than a blender?
With a blender, every drink must be prepared from scratch. Blending, pouring, and cleanup all slow down service, especially when orders pile up. With a frozen beverage freezer or slush machine, drinks are ready to serve on demand.
Can you use normal juice in a slush machine?
You can use any drink with a high sugar level in your GSEICE® Maker, such as fresh orange juice. If you are not using official GSEICE® branded syrup, please ensure your mixture has a high sugar content, which helps with the reaction to create the slush.
Can I use soda in a slushie machine?
Carbonated drinks will settle more slowly and will not be as thick. It is recommended to add pre-chilled liquid to your SLUSH MACHINE. This will quicken the slush-making process. Carbonated diet drinks and alcoholic beverages will not slush.
