Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pick your batch

    For 2 to 3 servings, use 2¾ cups water and ⅓ cup plus 2 teaspoons pink lemonade powder mix. For 4 to 6 servings, use the amounts in the ingredient list. For 6 to 8 servings, use 7⅓ cups water and ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons powder mix.

  2. Whisk until dissolved

    Whisk the water and powder together in a pitcher or a large bowl until the powder has fully dissolved. Gritty powder at the bottom means a gritty slush, so give it a proper whisk.

  3. Pour and run Slush

    Pour the mixture into the vessel, keeping it at or below the max fill line, and select SLUSH. The preset starts at the temperature judged best for the texture. Depending on the batch, plan on 15 to 45 minutes.

  4. Serve

    When the drink reaches its best texture the machine beeps three times. Serve immediately, and leave the preset running until every bit has been dispensed: an empty vessel is far easier to clean.

Where the calories live

It is all one ingredient here: the pink lemonade powder mix is the whole story, calories and all.

The bright spot

Most of the flavor rides on the pink lemonade powder mix, and the numbers stay in treat territory rather than meal territory.

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: 2¾ cups (650 ml) water and ⅓ cup plus 2 teaspoons pink lemonade powder mix. For 4 to 6 servings: 5½ cups (1.3 L) water and ⅔ cup plus 4 teaspoons powder. For 6 to 8 servings: 7⅓ cups (1.75 L) water and ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons powder.

Can I use regular lemonade mix?

Yes. Any powdered lemonade mix works at the same amounts. You will get a classic yellow lemonade slush instead of a pink one, with the same sweet tart bite.

Why leave the preset running while I serve?

The drink keeps its texture while the preset runs, and the vessel empties clean. Turning the preset off early leaves frozen lemonade coating the sides, which is the slow way to wash up.

What if the texture is off?

Use the temperature control. Colder gives a firmer freeze, and warmer gives a softer pour. Small nudges make a real difference, so adjust a step at a time.
