Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pour into the vessel

    Pour all the ingredients into the vessel. The amounts above make the middle batch, for 4 to 6 servings. For 2 to 3 servings, use 2½ cups apple cider and ½ cup cinnamon whiskey. For 6 to 8 servings, use 6⅔ cups apple cider and 1¼ cups cinnamon whiskey.

  2. Chill first for best results

    For best results, chill the liquid before adding it to the unit. Cider straight from the fridge freezes fastest.

  3. Select SPIKED SLUSH

    Select SPIKED SLUSH. The preset starts at the default temperature for ideal texture. For your ideal texture, use the Temperature Control setting to adjust.

  4. Serve

    Once the frozen drink reaches the right temperature, the unit will beep three times. Serve immediately.

Where the calories live

The apple cider brings the biggest share of the calories here, about 50 percent of the batch, with the cinnamon whiskey next in line.

About the alcohol

The pour is part of the flavor and part of the math: about 41 percent of the calories in every glass come from the alcohol itself.

Want a lighter pour

Pour a smaller glass and top it with sparkling water. The flavor stretches and the landing gets gentler.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three batch sizes?

For 2 to 3 servings: 2½ cups apple cider and ½ cup cinnamon whiskey. For 4 to 6 servings: 5 cups cider and 1 cup whiskey. For 6 to 8 servings: 6⅔ cups cider and 1¼ cups whiskey.

Can I make it without alcohol?

Yes. Leave the whiskey out, add the same amount of cider plus a pinch of ground cinnamon, and run the SLUSH preset instead.

Cider or apple juice?

Cider is the move here: it is cloudier, less filtered, and tastes more like the orchard. Clear apple juice works in a pinch but freezes a little sweeter and thinner.

Why chill everything first?

Cold liquid reaches slush texture faster and more evenly, so the batch spends less time churning.
