The science of sugar, alcohol and freezing — 16 pro tips for flawless slush.

Read all pro tips

Sugar controls the texture. Aim for roughly 120–160 g of sugar per litre of mix — too little and it freezes solid, too much and it never sets.

Diet and sugar-free drinks won't slush properly — the machine needs about 8 g of sugar per 250 ml. Help them along with a splash of syrup or juice.

Alcohol works like antifreeze. Keep the whole batch below about 10% ABV — roughly 1 part spirit to at least 3 parts mixer — or it will never freeze.
