QUICK TIPS

I . 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.

QUICK TIPS (CONT.)

•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.

II. 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.
