Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pick your batch and whisk

    For a small batch of 2 to 3 servings, use 1¼ cups coconut milk, 1¼ cups limeade, ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons rum, the juice of 2 limes, and 3 tablespoons sugar. For 4 to 6 servings, use the amounts in the ingredient list. For a large batch of 6 to 8 servings, use 3⅓ cups coconut milk, 3⅓ cups limeade, 1 cup rum, the juice of 2 limes, and ⅓ cup sugar. Whisk everything in a pitcher or a large bowl until the coconut milk is smooth and emulsified and the sugar has dissolved.

  2. Pour it in

    Pour the mixture into the vessel, keeping the liquid at or below the max fill line.

  3. Run Spiked Slush

    Select SPIKED SLUSH. The preset starts at the temperature judged best for the texture, and the temperature control lets you nudge it colder for a firmer freeze. Depending on the batch, plan on 40 to 55 minutes.

  4. Serve it cold

    When the drink reaches its best texture the machine beeps three times. Serve immediately.

Where the calories live

The coconut milk brings the biggest share of the calories here, about 61 percent of the batch, with the light rum next in line.

The bright spot

The fruit in the mix brings natural sweetness and real flavor, plus the vitamin C you see on this panel.

Want a lighter scoop

Swap in light coconut milk and hold the sugar where it is. The texture stays lush and this panel gets friendlier.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three batch sizes?

Small, 2 to 3 servings: 1¼ cups (300 ml) coconut milk, 1¼ cups (300 ml) limeade, ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) light rum, the juice of 2 limes, and 3 tablespoons (38 g) sugar. Medium, 4 to 6 servings: 2½ cups (590 ml) coconut milk, 2½ cups (590 ml) limeade, ¾ cup (180 ml) rum, the juice of 2 limes, and ¼ cup (50 g) sugar. Large, 6 to 8 servings: 3⅓ cups (790 ml) coconut milk, 3⅓ cups (790 ml) limeade, 1 cup (240 ml) rum, the juice of 2 limes, and ⅓ cup (67 g) sugar.

Can I add more rum?

Keep to the amounts listed. Alcohol lowers the freezing point of the mix, and a batch carrying too much rum stays soupy no matter how long it runs. If you want a stronger drink, pour the slush first and float a little extra rum over each glass.

Why whisk the coconut milk so well?

Canned coconut milk separates in the can, with the thick cream sitting on top of the thin liquid. Whisking until the mixture looks smooth and uniform means every glass freezes with the same rich texture.

Can I make it alcohol free?

Yes. Swap the rum for the same amount of extra limeade. The batch will freeze a touch firmer without the alcohol in it, so pour it as soon as the machine beeps.
