We’ve all grown up with happy memories of slush drinks from our childhood. Whether we considered them a summer holiday treat or were lucky enough to have a café that sold them near our childhood home, slush is one of the most nostalgic drinks. Guess what, though?
Adults still love them, but you can make them even more appealing by turning them into cocktail slush.
Find out all about how selling alcoholic slush can increase your revenue and discover the most exciting cocktail slush recipes.
Don’t get us wrong. We’re not saying that you should forget about traditional flavours for kids. Just think about their parents, too!
When their child is tugging at their clothes asking for their all-time-favourite drink, they’d be more inclined to get one for themselves too if an unusual alcoholic slush flavour was also on the menu.
And it’s not just about parents with children. Think of couples or groups of friends going for an afternoon stroll or meeting up for a drink before grabbing dinner together!
A cocktail slush is sure to grab their attention. Plus, because the actual cocktail slush syrup is usually alcohol-free, you can always offer them as a mocktail option too, appealing to even more customers.
At Rainbow Slush, we offer the very best cocktail slush syrups to help you turn your point of sale into a bustling bar. Here’s what you can choose from:
Bursting with lime juice and mint flavours, this syrup is a homage to the most popular Cuban cocktail. All you have to do is add some rum… and that’s your exotic night sorted!
Delightfully sweet but with a kick of lime, the strawberry daiquiri cocktail slush is guaranteed to be one of the most popular flavours, especially among groups of friends.
Some of your customers might prefer a zestier alcoholic slush. In that case, you really can’t go wrong with a zingy and citrusy margarita.
‘If you like piña colada’ then you’d better turn it into a slush cocktail! Tangy pineapple and a creamy coconut base: the perfect recipe for a dreamy exotic twist.
Sweet but citrusy and with the most refreshing blue look, this alcoholic slush recipe is ideal for a relaxing summer afternoon.
This alcoholic slush recipe will allows you to include a more delicate option in your exciting cocktail slush menu. Floral and refreshing!
While colourful alcoholic slush drinks will immediately grab people’s attention, there are also several tricks that you can use to promote them and reach even more customers.
When you rent a machine from Rainbow Slush, we’ll also give you lots of free point of sale materials.
This includes head-turning promo stands, stickers, flags, and posters. Use them strategically to catch the eye of passers-by as they walk down the street or while they’re queuing to purchase something else from you.
As well as getting actual passers-by to stop on their tracks, you should also aim to attract people who don’t normally walk down your street. How? With the power of social media, of course.
A bright and colourful slush drink is already super instagrammable as it is, but… a cocktail twist? That will make it even more appealing and shareable.
Take pictures, stories, and videos of your alcoholic slush drinks, perhaps in front of a recognisable local spot so that people will think ‘oh, I know where that is’ and pop by next time they’re in that area.
You can also include your location and encourage customers to tag you in their cocktail slush pictures. To do so, make your social media handle clearly visible to them (for example, on an A-board or a sign right by the till).
Margarita Mondays? Strawberry Daiquiri Sundays? Get creative by organising a fun theme night!
Pick a day when sales are usually a bit lower and increase them by focusing on a specific cocktail slush, coming up with the catchiest and most memorable name for your event.
Whether you’d rather opt for a ‘buy one, get one half price’ deal or a 241 offer more similar to traditional happy hours, having an incentive wouldn’t be a bad idea, especially around cocktail time.
It’ll encourage couples and groups of friends to do something different by going for a cocktail slush together instead of a more traditional drink. This can also help you generate more sales during the coldest months.
The best alcoholic cocktail slush is basically a recipe for a higher revenue!
We’d love to hear from you
