My daughter absolutely loves these slushy drinks, they are the perfect treat for her and she has one several times a week. The dual straw/spoon is great but because of the spoon section it’s difficult to drink the slushy to the bottom of the cup.

I was surprised to learn that you can make a slushy using a dairy drink, the only thing you have to remember if using a dairy drink is to place the filled cup back into the freezer for 3-4 minutes otherwise it won’t slush.The slush drinks are perfect for fans of this kind of drink and you can use virtually any drink you want from squash, fresh juice and even milky drinks.

The insulated sleeve in the cup stays cold for quite a while so as you’re enjoying your slushy keep squeezing. It is also the perfect slushy machine for a party or group gathering when you need to make lots of slushies quickly. To test this thing out, we tried making four different drinks with it — frozen orange juice, frozen Gatorade, frozen soda and even frozen coffee. As well as being able to make a slushy using fruit juice you can use any drink to make a slushy as long as it has been chilled in the refrigerator, room temperature drinks won’t work so I would suggest popping your selected drink into the fridge at the same time as you put the cup in the freezer.There’s a science lesson to be had about heat transfer and there’s also room to get creative with recipes.

If you're on the hunt for family-friendly escapades and hidden gems in and around Birmingham, you've just stumbled upon your new favourite hub! Simply wash in warm soapy water after each use, re freeze and its ready for you to make your next slushy. they've begun asking questions about it, and while I understand how the cup works, I can't really explain it to a child in a fun, educating way. Here, it didn’t seem like the juice turned into a slushy, but rather just a cold drink with a few shards of ice in it. Within a minute you start to see the drink transform and Monkey and I were both, quite frankly amazed.The cup needs to be put in the freezer, preferably overnight, or at least until the insides are frozen solid.
