A slushy, sometimes known as slush, is a flavored frozen drink.
It is usually made by freezing a non-carbonated juice or other liquid. The
sugar in the liquid often keeps it from freezing completely. Because they do not require a pressure
chamber to carbonate them, slushies are sold in eateries throughout the
country. They are even more popular than
other frozen beverages, all of which sell millions every year. Smoothies
usually contain fruit or vegetables along with juice or simple syrup. Razzles
and shakes usually feature ice cream or heavy cream, making them thicker and
creamier. Smoothies, Razzles and even slush
can be pretty pricey if you indulge often enough. Making these frozen drinks at
home is a lot less expensive. If you are thinking you will need a high-powered
blender to crush ice, think again! Our new Zoku slush and shake maker will
freeze any liquid combination to the perfect slushy consistency in just
minutes. It requires nothing more than gentle stirring in the special
container.
