If there is one thing I love in life it is a slushie.

Like many of my generation I remember the abject disappointment of a certain snowman called Mr Frostie who, if you believed the advert, would have you making your own Slushies in no time. However no matter how many ice cubes I had or how much effort I put in to turning his handle all I ended up with was a tiny bit of crushed ice in the bottom of a paper cup and damn near frostbitten fingers. Lets face it using a what is essentially a cheese grater on ice cubes is never going to result in much success.

Carrying this memory with me I was very sceptical about the Slush Mug. Like Mr Frosty it promised you a delicious Slushie within minutes. Unlike Mr Frost this actually works. Not only does it work but there is no faffing on with ice and you can just about make any drink you want into a Slushie.

The cup itself comes in 2 parts the cup and the core (the core is the white bit in the picture). For the Slush Mug to work you will need to freeze the core before use - I just leave it in the freezer all the time now. When you have a frozen core just pour in pretty much any drink you want into the cup, leave it for about 10 minutes, give it a stir and voila the perfect Slushie!!! No mess no fuss and no ice cubes!!!

I have had great fun experimenting with different things from soft drinks to alcohol. I wholly recommend Slush Mug Slushies. They are both the perfect hangover cure and the perfect way to a hangover - Alcoholic Ginger Beer slushies mmmm.

I got my Slush Mug from Firebox and it was only £8.99. Great price fantastic product.
