We don’t make your typical slushies.
Slushies from a cotton candy company? But of course! If we could bring organic sugar and flavor to cotton candy, why not re-invent the slushie while we're at it? The category is mostly corn syrup, food coloring, and propylene glycol, exactly what we started The Jolly Sheep to walk away from. Real fruit purees, custom in-house mixes, fresh-cut toppings, your logo on every cup. Turns out slushies are great when you make them like food, not chemicals.
Their slushies…
Ingredients:
Water, high fructose corn syrup, natural and artificial flavor, artificial color (Red #40, Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Blue #1), citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate (preservatives), propylene glycol, ester gum, carrageenan gum.

A single standard outlet within 100 ft of the service area handles the whole cart. We provide extension cords.
For smaller events, our slushie cart utilizes battery power.
SPACE, CLEARANCE, LOAD IN/OUT
See the image to the right for reference.
Setup area: With umbrella we recommend at least an 8 x 8 ft. area, with at least 5 ft. distance from any rear walls.
Height: The umbrella requires 10 ft. of vertical clearance.
Width: Measure your spaces to ensure we can reach your intended service area. Our carts vary in size and need from 30 to 36” width to pass.
Stairs/Hard to reach areas: We may need to charge a service fee for additional labor if the cart needs to be carried up long flights of stairs. Best discussed during the booking process.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. We run our frozen cocktail service as a "dry bar" model. We don't hold a liquor license, so you provide the alcohol of your choice (from your venue's bar or your own supply), and we bring everything else: the cart, the real-fruit base, the trained attendant, and your branded cups.
-
We're open to most frozen cocktails and mocktails on request. Daiquiri is a common one: strawberry, lime, or your choice of fruit. If there's a frozen cocktail you've seen elsewhere that you want at your event, let us know and we'll look into recipe and timing. The more lead time, the better, since custom builds sometimes require recipe testing.
-
Yes. We scale by adding more slushie makers. For larger crowds we deploy four to ten or more individual units, each delivering the same slushie consistency you'd get from a single large commercial machine. We can arrange more service points to reduce lines or cycle in batches to keep service moving.
-
No. For standard flavors we use commercial real-fruit bases that meet our clean-label standard (cane sugar, no HFCS, no artificial colors or flavors, no preservatives). We mix in-house only for custom requests like cherry, blackberry, or brand-matched signature flavors that aren't available pre-made. Every base on our cart is real-fruit either way.
-
We deploy commercial-style units on request. They work best for indoor events or cool-weather days where the machine itself is part of the branding (countertop placement, front-facing logo wrap, "grab and go" self-service style for activations, trade shows, and corporate functions). Commercial machines are engineered for air-conditioned establishments like bars and convenience stores, not for outdoor service in summer or desert heat. The tradeoffs: power requirements increase (dedicated 20-30 amp circuit, sometimes more), additional labor is usually required, and your quote will reflect those costs. For outdoor events, our standard cart is typically the better choice. Same slushie consistency, no heat-performance risk, no power or labor overhead.
