Spiced Apple Cider Slushie (Ninja Slushi Machine)
A fun, festive fall spiced apple cider slushie recipe with a fun optional bourbon twist, using the Ninja SLUSHi machine.
Servings: 6 servings
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 Ninja SLUSHi machine
Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups fresh apple cider (use fresh pressed apple cider if you can)
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- (optional) a few shavings of fresh nutmeg
Instructions
- PREP: In a large pitcher, combine all ingredients and give it a good stir so everything’s well blended.
- SLUSH: Pour the mixture into the slushie machine, close the lid securely, then select the "FROZEN JUICE" button, or whatever your manufacturer suggests for juice-based slushies.
- WAIT: Wait 15–20 minutes until the desired slushy texture.
- SERVE & ENJOY: Dispense into your favorite serving glass. Garnish with a thin apple slice, a cinnamon stick, or a cinnamon-sugar rimmed glass, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For best results, pre-chill all liquids before adding them to the slushi machine.
- Spiked Slushie:
- If you want a spiked version, feel free to add a shot of whiskey or bourbon into the serving glass before dispensing the drink.
- You can also add 1/4 cup of bourbon (or booze of choice) to the mixture. But I recommend starting low if adding it to the machine to ensure it properly slushes.
