A forthcoming app that calculates drink recipes intended to freeze properly in a slush machine.

For
Slush-machine owners making cocktails
Worth noticing
The example models a typical machine setting of −7.3 °C and reports alcohol, sweetness, and frozen-water percentages for each recipe.

Field notes

The worked example compares a straight-up margarita, a version diluted with twice as much water, and a rebalanced recipe. At the stated machine setting, their listed frozen-water values are 0%, 51%, and 31%, respectively. The page attributes the balance to water helping drinks freeze and sugar helping keep the result soft and flavorful; these are presented as modeled examples, not as measurements from a live calculator.
