Sunset Slush Recipe for the Ninja Slushi Machine 🍹

unset Slush: Orange, Mango & Strawberry Slush Recipe

If you want to create something a little different in your Ninja Slushi, Sunset Slush is an easy flavour combination to try at home.

It blends Orange & Mango with Strawberry to create a fruity frozen drink with a tropical feel and a colour that suits the name.

The recipe keeps the standard Florida Syrups slush method but splits the Flavour Shot between two flavours.

What Is Sunset Slush?

Sunset Slush is a homemade flavour combination made using:

  • Orange & Mango
  • Strawberry

The Orange & Mango gives the drink a tropical citrus-fruit base, while Strawberry adds a softer berry flavour.

Together they create a balanced fruit combination that works well as a summer slush or party drink.

Sunset Slush Recipe

For one full 1900ml tank, use:

  • 185ml Core Mix
  • 50ml Orange & Mango Flavour Shot
  • 50ml Strawberry Flavour Shot
  • Cold water to 1900ml total

The two Flavour Shots add up to the normal 100ml total flavour quantity.

How to Make Sunset Slush

Step 1: Add the Core Mix

Measure 185ml Core Mix into a suitable jug or mixing container.

Step 2: Add the Two Flavours

Add:

  • 50ml Orange & Mango
  • 50ml Strawberry

This gives you an even 50/50 flavour split.

Step 3: Add Cold Water

Top up with cold water until the total mixture reaches 1900ml.

Mix everything thoroughly so the Core Mix and flavours are evenly distributed.

Step 4: Add to Your Slush Machine

Pour the mixture into your Ninja Slushi or other home slush machine.

Then operate the machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the drink reaches the consistency you prefer.

Why Do Orange & Mango and Strawberry Work Together?

The two flavours bring different things to the drink.

Orange & Mango provides a fuller tropical fruit flavour.

Strawberry adds a familiar berry sweetness.

The result is fruit-led without being dominated by one flavour.

A 50/50 split is a good starting point because both flavours remain noticeable.

Can You Change the Flavour Balance?

Yes.

If you want one flavour to stand out more, you can adjust the split while keeping the total flavour quantity at 100ml.

For example:

More tropical

  • 75ml Orange & Mango
  • 25ml Strawberry

More strawberry-led

  • 25ml Orange & Mango
  • 75ml Strawberry

The important thing is not to increase the total Flavour Shot quantity beyond the normal recipe.

Want a Sharper Sunset Slush?

If you prefer something with more citrus bite, try adding Lemon & Lime into the combination.

For example:

  • 50ml Orange & Mango
  • 25ml Strawberry
  • 25ml Lemon & Lime

That still keeps the total Flavour Shot quantity at 100ml, while giving the drink a sharper finish.

Simple Serving Ideas

Sunset Slush works well on its own, but a few simple additions can make it feel more like a finished summer drink.

Try serving it with:

  • A slice of fresh orange
  • Fresh strawberries
  • A lime wedge
  • A colourful straw
  • Fresh fruit alongside the glass

Keep garnishes out of the machine itself and add them after serving.

Can You Make Sunset Slush in Other Home Slush Machines?

Yes.

Florida Syrups slush products are designed for home slush machines generally, not just the Ninja Slushi.

Follow the current product instructions and the operating guidance for your machine.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Adding too much flavour

More syrup does not necessarily make a better slush.

Keep the total Flavour Shot quantity at 100ml.

Changing the water by guesswork

Use cold water to reach the correct 1900ml total volume.

Changing the proportions can affect both flavour balance and freezing.

Pouring by eye

Measure the flavours if you want to repeat the recipe successfully.

Once you find a ratio you like, writing it down makes it easy to make the same version again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flavours are in Sunset Slush?

Sunset Slush combines Orange & Mango with Strawberry.

How much of each flavour should I use?

For the standard version, use 50ml Orange & Mango and 50ml Strawberry.

Can I make one flavour stronger?

Yes. Use a 75ml/25ml split while keeping the total Flavour Shot quantity at 100ml.

Can I add Lemon & Lime?

Yes. Lemon & Lime can give the drink a sharper citrus finish. Just keep the combined flavour quantity at 100ml.

How much Core Mix do I need?

Create Your Own Sunset Slush

Sunset Slush is a simple example of how two Florida Syrups flavours can create something completely different.

Start with:

185ml Core Mix + 50ml Orange & Mango + 50ml Strawberry + cold water to 1900ml

Then adjust the flavour balance next time if you want it more tropical, more strawberry-led or slightly sharper.
