Cranberry Orange Slush
Tart cranberries balance sweet orange juice in a cold, ruby-red slush. You get a bright citrus bite that cuts right through rich holiday roasts and heavy winter dinners. Pour it straight from the machine into chilled tumblers alongside a twist of fresh orange peel.
To make Cranberry Orange Slush in a slush machine, blend cranberry juice, orange juice, water, pour the mix into the machine and run the Slush / Frozen Drink program for about 20–25 minutes. This Mocktails & Alcohol-Free Slush recipe makes a full 2.4-litre batch — about 8–10 glasses — ready to serve straight from the tap.

Quick answers
How long does Cranberry Orange Slush take in a slush machine?
About 20–25 min on the Slush / Frozen Drink program. Mixing the base takes around 10 minutes — pre-chilled ingredients freeze noticeably faster.
How much does this Cranberry Orange Slush recipe make?
A full batch is 2.4 litres — about 8–10 glasses. Use the portion switch above for a 1-litre half batch or the exact amount per glass.
Is Cranberry Orange Slush alcohol-free?
Yes — this recipe contains no alcohol, so it works for kids, parties and designated drivers alike.
Can I make Cranberry Orange Slush without a slush machine?
Yes. Mix the same ingredients, add about 1 kg of ice and blend in batches until smooth. The texture is a little icier than from a machine, so serve it straight away.
Why won't my Cranberry Orange Slush freeze?
Almost always too much sugar or alcohol — or warm ingredients. A slush sets at roughly 120–160 g sugar per litre and under ~10% alcohol. Stick to the amounts above, chill everything first, and check your own tweaks in the will-it-freeze calculator.
