Great news slushie fans! Beer does in fact slushify in the Slushie Magic!
Bad news: You have got to be careful when it comes to the shaky because it may or may not result in beer being sprayed across a kitchen wall. And I may or may not know this from experience.
The taste of a beer slushie is alright. Not the same as drinking a beer, obviously, but the flavor is still there. The beer hasn't really been tainted by any outside forces so it's honestly just a slushed up beer. Actually I think it's more of the foam that slushes but frozen beer foam is better then regular beer foam.
Also some great news. There is a Slush Puppie machine in the gas station down the road!!! How have I lived here for over a year and never knew it? Mmm. I foresee Slush Puppies in my near future.

Do You Believe in Magic?
I think I got one of the coolest Christmas presents this year.
A Slushie Magic!
What is this intriguing device, you ask? Well! First you have to freeze the magical ice cubes and then you put them and the beverage of choice in the included plastic tumbler and you shaky shaky shake that SOB until *gasp* slush forms!
I was worried, let me tell you, that it was going to be a load of crap. That my pure, childlike excitement was going to be for naught. And I did have a scare that it wasn't going to work the first time I used it. It probably was do to the vodka I was trying to slush up with juice.
Wait what's that? Is it the main purpose of my Slushie Magic to make alcoholic slushies? You bettchya!
After the panic I thought to myself well, booze doesn't freeze the juice does and this new fangled "snowflake technology" might not have what it takes to slushify vodka. So the next round (Yeah, I've got two of 'em) I did just juice and you know what? IT TURNED INTO A SLUSHIE!!!!!!! I really can't explain how happy that made me, that this actually worked. So now I've decided I'll have to slushie up the juice first then add the vodka to get my vodka slushie. Seems fool proof to me. Maybe I'll stick the vodka in the freezer a little before hand so it's chilled and won't melt the slush right away.
Now I'm curious about what other things I can come up with. Will beer slush? It freezes, or comes close to it, so I don't see why it wouldn't. And beer slush can't be terrible since I wouldn't think it would become watered down since I'm not introducing any ice to it. I can now make slushie Dr. Pepper and Southern Comforts!
Do I intend on using it for non-alcoholic things? Mmm. Not really but I'm open to trying it since I LOVE SLUSHIES! For real. I don't know what it is about them but good god are they amazing.
Well done TO on the gift...well done indeed :)
Oh. I forgot to mention it comes with a spoon straw. yeah. As if it couldn't be any better, they throw that in. And a coozy so my hands don't get cold! What smart, smart individuals at Slushie Magic!
