The cost to rent our slushie machine is $375 for up to 3 days. We pick up and drop off at your convenience; Many clients opt to have drop off on the day of the party and pickup the following day.
Flavors
You Need a Slushie offers a selection of flavored mixtures with your rental, as well as our expertise in creating new recipes. Some unique recipes that have drawn rave reviews from clients in the past:
Frosé - Your friends love Rosé, your friends are hot, you love your friends. Give them a frozen Rosé treat. They’ll thank you.
Coffee slushie - It’s sweet, it’s caffeinated, it’s cold. Bonus: Also helps you do your taxes after the party is over.
Frozen Negroni - Courtesy of legendary bartender Jeffrey Morganthaler, this recipe is for the intellectual that wouldn’t be caught dead drinking a classic blue slushie. We got your back.
Of course, we still provide the classic flavors, too. Sometimes, a plain slice of pizza is better than a slice loaded with toppings. Classic flavors include:
Coca Cola®
Blue Raspberry
Orange Crush
There are a lot more flavors. Our preferred vendor has 59 flavors, it would be crazy to list them all here. If you want an exhaustive list, please contact us and we will help you out.
We aren’t done yet. Want organic, all-fruit mixes? We have those, too. Contact us for more details.
FAQs
What is included in a rental?
We provide pickup/dropoff services, assistance with setup and post-use cleaning. Each rental comes with enough slushie mix/syrup for both cylinders.
What if I run out of slushie mix?
During drop-off, we leave you with an extra container of mixture, just in case. If it goes unused, we don’t charge for it. We just want to ensure that you and your guests are not left wanting more! If you do use the mixture, it is a $50 charge. If you anticipate needing more, please let us know and we will naturally accommodate.
How long does it take to freeze?
This depends on a few factors, but the quick answer is 1-2 hours. If you are using the machine outdoors, you must have it covered, but even then, freezing takes closer to 4 hours. Pre-chilling the ingredients goes a long way, as does keeping the machine indoors. You can mix in alcohol (more on this later), but it increases the freeze time. Generally, we advise adding alcohol to an already-frozen cylinder; Mixing in alcohol slows down freezing significantly if you start with it mixed in.
Can I add alcohol?
Yes! Of course! About 70% of our clients end up using at least one cylinder with alcohol. The protocol is typically to get a slushie mix to freeze first, then add alcohol to the cylinder. Alcohol will affect the texture; Since it does not freeze, it will make your slushie more liquid. We help advise you with the recipe in advance, and we are always available over the phone during your rental. In our experience, the best alcoholic slushie ends up being ~4% ABV, similar to a beer. Anything stronger tends to come out more like very cold mixed drinks, which isn’t always a bad thing!
Disclaimer: We assist in crafting your recipe and recommend amounts of liquor to add, but we do not provide alcohol under any circumstances.
Can I use this outside?
Yes! You can definitely use the machine outside, but you must keep the machine covered. If it is in direct sunlight, it will not freeze fully. We can deliver a tent for an extra fee, if need be. We provide a heavy-duty extension cord free of charge with all of our rentals.
Can I have both non-alcoholic and alcoholic mixtures?
Yes! The cylinders are separate systems and you can have a classic and alcoholic slushie side-by-side in the machine. This is a common setup for parties with young kids.
