MCLEAN MILKSHAKE VANILLA SLUSH SYRUP 5:1 CONCENTRATE -4 LITRE

Q: How to mix mclean slush syrup?

To mix McLean Slush Syrup, you combine one part concentrate with five parts water. For example, if you're using a full 4-litre jug of McLean concentrate, you'll need to add 20 litres of water to achieve the correct dilution. This 5:1 ratio is crucial for ensuring the mixture freezes properly and delivers that consistent, finely crushed ice texture in your commercial slush machine. Just pour the concentrate and water into your machine's hopper and let it do its work.

Quick Answer

McLean Slush Syrup 5:1 concentrate in 4-litre jugs is the workhorse syrup for Canadian concession stands, carnival vendors, stadium food service, and amusement park operators. Mix one to five parts water for Blue Raspberry, Sour Apple, Strawberry, and a handful of specialty bases. We ship from Calgary to all 10 provinces and 3 territories.

This McLean 5:1 concentrate is what concession ops reach for when they can't afford a bad batch on a Saturday rush. The ratio freezes consistently in machines like the Bunn Ultra-2 and Taylor, so you don't end up with the half-frozen, half-water mess that wrecks a slush. You can run it for 10-hour days through Stampede and it holds texture. Blue Raspberry and Sour Apple are the volume sellers, but the Lemon Base lets you tweak tartness on the fly.
