Why choose this ice ninja?
Want to go from simple juice to iced drink without waiting hours? The SLUSHi ice ninja is a machine designed to produce fine granitas , iced cocktails and thick milkshakes in just a few minutes. Its appeal is simplicity: you pour, you throw, you enjoy . We appreciate the stable base, the handy pitcher and the clear ergonomics; no need to be a bartender to come up with recipes that pop. It's the fun and practical device that transforms a snack, an aperitif or a brunch into a refreshing moment.
Compared to a classic blender, the Ninja Ice aims for a colder and more consistent texture , similar to slush bars. Alcohol-free recipes are easy to combine (lemonade, homemade syrups, iced teas), and cocktails gain in freshness without ending up “diluted”. On the family side, we love being able to adjust the sugar and aromatic strength: you control what you drink.

Everything you can prepare
Ninja ice cream shines when you vary the liquid bases. Here are some easy ideas to combine:
Lemon-mint granita
Squeezed lemon + simple syrup + crushed mint leaves + very cold water. Add a little crushed ice if you want it thicker.
Virgin Mojito
Lime + mint + sugar syrup + sparkling water. The perfect icy texture for an aperitif.
Iced coffee
Double cold espresso + milk + ice cubes + a dash of vanilla syrup. Thick and frothy.
Strawberry milkshake
Very cold milk, chopped strawberries, a little crushed ice, sugar to taste. Greek yogurt option for creaminess.
Peach Iced Tea
Cold-brewed black tea + peach syrup + peach segments. Fresh, lightly sweetened, and incredibly thirst-quenching.
Light Spritz
Alcohol-free version: alcohol-free bitters + orange soda + orange slice + thin ice.
Tips for success
- Chill everything (liquid base, pitcher, glasses) before casting for better grip.
- Avoid large ice cubes: prefer crushed ice or **small** ice cubes for a fine texture.
- Start short, taste, then lengthen if necessary: this avoids diluting too much.
- For perfect consistency of granitas, a **homemade syrup** (sugar + water) improves the texture.
- Frozen fruit: Cut into pieces and add liquid to help rotation.
Getting Started Step by Step
- Install : rinse, place on a stable surface, plug in.
- Load : pour in your very cold base (juice, tea, milk, cocktail) + crushed ice if necessary.
- Launch : iced drink mode, observe the texture after a few seconds.

Maintenance, safety & noise
After each session, pour lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap, run for a few seconds, rinse, and dry. Avoid abrasives on transparent surfaces. The noise is similar to a blender crushing ice: normal. As for safety, check that the lid is securely locked before starting and never force it if a hard block gets stuck; cut, mix, and restart.
