# Recipe Guidlines

*Too little sugar or too much alcohol will prevent proper freezing of a slush output. Follow guidelines*
\
*below for a perfect slush every time. All inputs must contain at least 4% sugar.*

### Minimum Sugar

| Volume | Minimum Total Sugar Content |
| ------ | --------------------------- |
| 1L     | 40g                         |
| 2L     | 80g                         |
|        |                             |

#### How to Calculate

Divide the sugar content (grams) by the volume (ml), multiplied by 100.\
i.e. 6.6/100 = 0.066\
0.066 \* 100 = 6.6% \
Meets minimum sugar level.

### Maximum Alcohol

The perfect balance for your favorite frozen cocktails at home. When using the SPIKED SLUSH preset,
\
all premade inputs (wine, beer, etc.) must between 2.8% and 16% alcohol.\
\&#xNAN;*You may need to set the Benchy Slushy colder the when at the higher end of this range.*
