Ninja Slushie Bushwacker Recipe

For some beverages, it is just like a vacation in a glass for me; one such drink is Ninja Slushie Bushwacker, and that is exactly what it is: rich, icy, chocolatey, and so smooth. The only thing better than that is making it in your place using a blender, and it tastes like something you’d get at a beach bar.
What is Ninja Slushie Bushwacker All About?
Ninja Slushie Bushwacker is an awesome frozen beverage that can be called part milkshake, part mudslide. It is extremely indulgent and has a sensuous texture, besides brimming with hints of chocolate, coffee, and coconut blended with ice into perfect slushiness. Perhaps most tellingly, though, it’s called an “adult milkshake,” so you know it’s flavorful, alcoholic, and one can apparently find it pretty easy to get sloshed on this stuff on a hot day.
Ingredients
Liquor:
- 1 oz dark rum
- 1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlua)
- 1 oz crème de cacao
- 1 oz coconut cream or coconut liqueur
Creamy base:
- 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for richness)
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
For blending:
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
Optional toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate drizzle
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Blend ice cubes, milk, and vanilla ice cream.
- Pour in dark rum, coffee liqueur, crème de cacao, and coconut cream.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and thick, forming a slush.
- Pour into a tall glass, cover the top with whipped cream, and drizzle chocolate syrup if desired.
- Garnish with shredded coconut or a cherry for extra credit.
Storage Tips
- The Ninja Slushie Bushwacker is best enjoyed immediately.
- If there are any leftovers, freeze them in a lidded container and blend again with more milk before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Very runny drinks should almost always be served in chilled glasses.
- They also make an excellent companion with salty snacks like pretzels or fries to contrast.
- Throw down a batch for the party, and serve it up in pitchers.
Pro Tips & Variations
- For a more decadent drink, use chocolate ice cream in place of vanilla.
- For a nutty twist, try adding a shot of amaretto or hazelnut liqueur in there.
- For a diet-friendly option, use coconut milk and skip the ice cream.
FAQs
1. Is Ninja Slushie Bushwacker very strong?
One of the most important things an abbreviation can do is give neighborly advice on the degree of sweetness, rigging texture, and alcohol flavor.
2. Can I make it non-alcoholic?
Sure thing! This would be a “mocktail” version; just skip any liquor and use chocolate syrup, coffee extract, and coconut milk.
3. What is the best blender for this?
Using a strong Ninja blender does crush ice quite smoothly, but a strong blender would do.
4. Can I use dairy-free varieties?
Absolutely; these combine very well with almond milk, oat milk, and dairy-free ice cream.
