Yep, you can definitely make alcoholic drinks with the Ninja Slushi FS301. There's just a bit of a trick to it. This machine needs just the right amount of sugar or alcohol to get that perfect slushy texture.

From what we've found, if your drink isn't freezing as you'd expect, it might need a tad more of these ingredients. The manufacturer's guidelines mention that it's important for drinks to have a certain level of sugar or alcohol. These elements play a big role in the freezing process to get that ideal texture.

If there’s not enough sugar, the Ninja Slushi FS301 might pause and give you a heads-up. Don't stress—just add some simple syrup, honey, agave, or maple syrup and try again.

And if you’ve added a bit too much alcohol—like over 14% by volume—it might be tough for the machine to freeze it properly. In that case, all you need to do is dilute with some water to hit the right spot for freezing, as some experts suggest.

This advice isn't just for cocktails; it goes for any kind of drink. Drinks with artificial sweeteners or diet versions usually need some tweaking since they often don’t have enough sugar.

The Ninja Slushi FS301 can handle different things like milk, juice, and pre-mixed cocktails, as long as you adjust the sugar and alcohol levels for it.

So, if your drink isn't freezing quite right, double-check the sugar and alcohol content. Once you get it within the machine’s sweet spot, you’ll be enjoying your icy treat in no time!
