Gin Slushies
We have to admit, slushies don’t really look amazing in the usual plastic gastro machines with the rotating rollers in them. But homemade from fresh fruit they look completely different and with THE DUKE Gin these slushies really taste mouthwatering. Summer is now finally here, with all the beauty it has to offer. And the only slushy snow we want to see is THE DUKE Gin Slushies in a glas.

Another quick note: Not every blender is suitable for chopping frozen fruit or ice cubes. To avoid ruining your mixer when preparing the gin slushies, take a quick look at the operating instructions.
