Recipe Guidlines
Benchy Slushy | Sugar & Alcohol Content
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.
You may need to set the Benchy Slushy colder the when at the higher end of this range.
How to Calculate
Take the maths and guess work out. Here's a great site to calulate your sugar and alchol of your mixes.
Tap the button for your desired preset (SPIKED SLUSH, SLUSH etc.). The preset temperature will flash on the screen and then show the current temperature whilst cooling.
