The Benchy Slushy Machine makes smooth frozen drinks right on your bench. With a 2L capacity and a sleek, sturdy design, it’s ideal for parties, small gatherings, pop-up bars and cafes. The simple controls let you adjust the temperature and choose the style of frozen drink you want.
Pair it with our VINKA mixers, Slushy Booster and Slushy Creamer to make frozen cocktails like Margaritas and Pina Coladas, or make alcohol-free slushies for the whole family.
Tips for the perfect slushy
- Sugar: for alcohol-free drinks, aim for a sugar level of 13–17% (13–17 Brix). Below about 4% it won’t slush.
- Alcohol: keep the total alcohol between 2.8% and 16% ABV or it won’t freeze. With strong spirits (35%+), use about 120mL per 710mL of total mix.
- Low or no sugar mixers: these only work when alcohol is added.
- Stronger cocktails: on the Frozen Cocktail setting, lower the temperature to -8°C or -9°C and save it as your default (see the manual).
- Plan ahead: start the machine at least 1 hour before your guests arrive.
- Not slushing when full? Pour off a drink to make room. If it’s too strong, add 60mL of water per serve, wait 30 minutes and repeat if needed.
- Where to use it: indoors or under cover, and not where it’s over 35°C.
Built-in error codes
- E1: the fan isn’t turning. Check the fan blades and rear vent aren’t blocked.
- E2: the temperature sensor reading is out of range. Check the sensor is plugged in and its wire is connected.
- E3: the motor has stalled, usually because the barrel has frozen solid from too low a temperature. Pour warm water into the top to melt it, then turn the machine off and on and start again.
