This Handy Gadget Turns Your Favorite Cocktails Into Frozen Slushies Overnight
Turn your favorite cocktails into a batch of frozen slushies — no blender required.
Sarah Busby
There's nothing more refreshing than an ice-cold cocktail on a hot day. Fall may be on the horizon, but summer weather isn't going anywhere for a while. Whether you're lounging poolside (for a few more weeks!) or tailgating, the Rabbit Freezable Cocktail Maker ensures you have a batch of your favorite frozen cocktails ready to go — no blender needed! The process couldn't be simpler, too. All you have to do is mix your cocktail ingredients (margarita? frose? pina colada?), then freeze the carafe overnight. The next day, simply squeeze the carafe to create a soft, boozy slushie that's ready to pour and sip.
What You'll Get
Simply fill the silicone carafe with your favorite ingredients, place the lid on top and pop the whole thing into the freezer overnight. Then take it out, smoosh the sides until the contents reach the ideal consistency, and voila, you’ve got yourself a primo batch of margaritas, frose, or whatever other recipes you dream up.
Each set includes a silicone cocktail carafe, neoprene carafe sleeve, stir spoon, lid and recipe booklet with six tasty recipes.
- Silicone Carafe: This easy-to-wash container includes measurements in mL and ounces for easy measuring.
- Neoprene Sleeve: The sleeve is designed to keep hands warm and help your grip while you squeeze the carafe.
- Stir Spoon: The integrated spoon is perfect for stirring and breaking up frozen cocktails.
- Lid: The lid keeps your frozen concoction protected from freezer smells.

To clean the cocktail maker, simply pop the carafe and its accessories onto the top rack of your dishwasher, and use a damp cloth to wipe down the neoprene sleeve.
Our Top Tested Tips
We tested this baby and have a few handy tips to make sure you get the absolute best frozen drink. Once you remove the carafe from the freezer, let it hang out on your kitchen counter for a few minutes before squeezing. We discovered giving it a little thawing time creates the best consistency in the end. (This works especially well if you're toting your concoction somewhere, like the pool or beach.) After a short period of rest, use the included stir spoon to crush the frozen contents along with bouts of squeezing. Although the recipes say four-to-six servings, we got an average of four servings per batch when using a standard wine glass.
