Crafting bold, nostalgic, and refreshing frozen drinks for UK homes with our rich variety of slush syrups.
Every bottle of Florida Slush Syrup tells a story. From bright, fruity classics to bold sour blends, our signature slush syrup flavours are designed with one thing in mind: creating the perfect slushie experience at home, especially when used in popular machines like the Ninja Slushie Maker.
But how do we come up with the flavours you know and love? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we develop, refine, and perfect every syrup we make.
🎯 Step 1: Understanding What Our Customers Want
Our process always starts with you, the customer. We monitor flavour trends, listen to feedback, and look at what’s flying off the shelves. Are people craving nostalgic sweetshop flavours? Do they want something sour, tropical, or refreshing? Whether it’s Bubblegum for birthday parties or Sour Lemon for hot summer days, every new flavour idea is driven by what real customers are asking for.
🧪 Step 2: Testing and Tasting (Lots of Tasting!)
Once we’ve identified a flavour idea, we get to work with flavour technicians and food developers to craft a concentrated syrup that’s bold, balanced, and built for slush.
We focus on:
- Flavour strength – Our syrups are designed to taste great even when diluted with ice and water
- Colour – A slushie should look as good as it tastes
- Mouthfeel – It needs to freeze and blend perfectly in machines like the Ninja slushie maker
- Pairing potential – Many of our flavours are developed to mix well with others, like Strawberry & Lime or Cherries & Berries
Every syrup goes through multiple test batches and real-world trials using domestic slush machines to ensure compatibility and consistency.
✅ Step 3: Sourcing Quality Ingredients
We only use ingredients that meet UK food safety standards — no shortcuts. Our syrups are:
- Made without glycerol (see our recent blog on why we removed it)
- Concentrated for maximum flavour and value
- Bottled in recyclable packaging to help reduce waste
- Free from unnecessary additives
We also take special care to ensure that every batch of syrup is consistent, so your favourite slush flavour tastes the same every time.
🧊 Step 4: Testing in Real Slush Machines (Including Ninja)
Each syrup is tested in a range of home slush makers — especially the Ninja Slushie Machine, which is one of the most popular in UK homes. We check for:
- Proper freezing
- Smooth texture
- No separation or clumping
- Easy blending on the “slush” setting
This ensures that when customers follow our mixing instructions (100ml syrup + 180ml base mix + water to the max fill level), they get the perfect slushie texture every time.
🚀 Step 5: Launching New Flavours & Gathering Feedback
Once we’re happy with a syrup, we launch it — but the process doesn’t stop there. We pay close attention to customer feedback, reviews, and re-order rates to see how each flavour performs. This helps us improve future batches, explore new variations, or even create seasonal specials.
