Mocktails & Alcohol-Free Slush

Deep blackcurrant and crisp apple juice carry the fragrant warmth of ground cloves and cinnamon without a drop of alcohol. Scandinavian families brew versions of this spiced punch for December gatherings, keeping everyone cozy through dark afternoons. Pour it icy and thick, then let young guests scatter their own raisins over the glass.
To make Kids' Gløgg Slush in a slush machine, blend blackcurrant juice, apple juice, orange juice, 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.

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.
