Abstract
Apparatus for efficiently preparing frozen drinks, such as frozen soft drinks and frozen cocktails, is disclosed. The apparatus includes apparatus for preparing frozen, semi-solid ice "slush". The output of the slush-making apparatus is delivered gradually to a blender cup in which additional ingredients of the drink have been added. The use of the slush rather than solid ice, and the gradual addition of the slush, prevents burn-out of the blender motor while reducing drink preparation time and ensuring a thorough blending of the drink ingredients.
