QUICK TIPS

(CONT.)

Frozen Drink Tips

• We recommend chilling most drink mixtures in the refrigerator or

freezer before pouring into the Rival

Icey Cream Machine to speed up

the freezing process.

• Carbonated drinks (such as cola, root beer, cream soda, etc.) can be

used to make frozen drinks.

NOTE: Carbonated diet drinks are not recommended, as they will not freeze.
See point 2 of operating instructions.
• Smoothies can easily be made in the Rival

Icey Cream Machine.

Smoothie recipes are typically thick and less freezing time may be
required to achieve the desired consistency.

• If creating alcoholic frozen drinks, add the alcohol at the end of the

freezing process (about 3-5 minutes before dispensing), as alcohol
does not freeze and will alter results if added to initial mixture.

• Gradually incorporate the alcohol into the frozen mixture by pouring

slowly into recipe chute and allowing the paddle to mix the liquid
into the frozen mixture at intervals.

• Additional freezing time may be required when alcohol is poured

directly into the frozen drink maker. Run the unit until peaks form or
the desired consistency is reached.

• To provide more options, prepare the drink mixture without alcohol

and let your guests add alcohol as desired to their frozen drink after it
is dispensed from the frozen drink maker.

• Drink mixtures with higher sugar content will reach desired

consistency more quickly than mixtures with lower sugar content or
that include milk.

• When using fresh fruit in your drink mixture, puree all ingredients first

for optimal results. Also, as natural fruit sugars lessen in taste when
frozen, you may want to add more sweeteners to the mixture.

• Do not store frozen drinks in the freezer or refrigerator; consume

immediately or discard.

Soft Serve Ice Cream Tips

• To make hard ice cream, transfer ice cream to an airtight container

and store in freezer for 2 to 4 hours.

• Do not use conventional hard ice cream recipes, as they may damage

the unit. Make sure all mix-ins such as nuts, chocolate chips, etc. are
finely chopped.
