The Viral Ninja SLUSHi Is $150 Off Right Now – It Makes Frozen Coffees, Cocktails, and Slushies in Minutes
It’s been such a hit that my friends keep turning up just to use it
For yet another summer, we’re facing record-breaking temperatures – and in an older home without air conditioning, I’m feeling every degree of it.
When I first came across the Ninja SLUSHi 88 oz Frozen Drink Maker, I honestly thought it was more gimmick than essential – just another single-use appliance that would end up gathering dust. But after weeks of 95°F heat and no real relief, it’s become one of the most-used ways I’ve found to stay cool without AC.
From frozen lemonades and classic slushies to frozen cocktails, it turns everyday drinks into genuinely refreshing heatwave essentials. And with the Ninja SLUSHi 88oz currently $150 off at Target, there’s rarely been a better time to add one to your kitchen ahead of the 4th of July.
With $150 off, now is a great time to invest in the Ninja SLUSHi. Its compact design means you don’t have to sacrifice precious counter space when hosting, and it can freeze at full capacity in just 60 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option for serving frozen drinks to guests.
I have the larger Ninja SLUSHi Max from Amazon, which I reviewed earlier this year, and I didn’t expect to love it quite as much as I do.
It works by taking any liquid with at least five grams of sugar per 100 millilitres and continuously churning and chilling it at the same time, producing a smooth, icy drink in just minutes. Even at full capacity, the 88 oz model can make around seven to eight servings in about an hour, which makes it perfect for entertaining or hot-weather batch drinks.
It uses RapidChill technology, so there’s no need to pre-freeze or add ice, which keeps the whole process simple and fuss-free. It’s a strong alternative to the best blenders, especially if you’re tired of experimenting only to end up with something that doesn’t quite hit that classic soda-shop texture.
I’ve tried everything from fizzy lemonade to pure fruit juices and enjoyed every single one. And for those with a more refined palate, it also handles alcoholic slushes beautifully, adding a fun but elevated twist to summer dinner parties.
What Else to Shop
All you really need is the Ninja SLUSHi and a glass to start turning out frozen drinks all summer long. But if you want to take things up a notch and really impress guests, I’ve pulled together a few fun accessories that lean into that old-school soda shop nostalgia – little touches that make every slushie, frozen cocktail, or iced treat feel that bit more special.
Slush drinks aren’t just for children – you can easily elevate them for grown-up hosting by serving them in a martini or cocktail glass. It instantly turns a fun frozen treat into something a bit more stylish and party-ready.
These thick highball glasses are perfect for summer drinks, with a weighty feel that makes them ideal for everything from iced coffees to frozen cocktails. The hand-cut fluting catches and reflects the light beautifully, giving even a simple drink a more elevated, barware-style finish.
Anyone who’s had a slushie before knows part of the fun is switching between scooping and sipping. These reusable metal straws let you do exactly that – so you get the best of both worlds, with less waste and more of that classic frozen-drink experience.
Twice as big and twice as fast as the original Ninja SLUSHi, the Max is smarter than ever, with the new SlushAssist feature designed to help deliver consistently perfect slushies, no matter what you put in the machine.
With classic Purple Grape, Cola, Blue Raspberry, and Cherry flavors, these ICEE syrups make it easy to recreate that nostalgic movie-theater slushie experience at home. If you're investing in a Ninja SLUSHi, they're a fun addition to have on hand for those iconic bright-blue and cherry-red frozen drinks that instantly feel like summer.
Every slushie I’ve ever bought has come in one of those iconic plastic cups with the oversized dome lid. These reusable versions let you recreate that same nostalgic look at home, but without the single-use plastic. I also love using them for iced coffees, frappés, milkshakes, and frozen lemonades – they instantly make homemade drinks feel a bit more special.
