From Machine Engineering
to Beverage Ingredients
NAC Beverage Solutions was created by Luca Caiano, a member of the family who owned CAB S.p.A, one of the most recognized manufacturers of granita and slush machines.
CAB machines became known worldwide for their reliability and innovation and are today part of the Celli Group, an international leader in beverage dispensing technology.
This background matters.
Because the people who understand the machines also understand how the ingredients behave inside them.
NAC mixes were developed with real dispensing systems in mind — helping operators achieve stable freezing curves, consistent texture, and reliable performance during busy service.
THE MODERN BEVERAGE CHALLENGE
Today’s customers expect more
than one simple slush flavour.
Venues want to serve:
granita
frozen cocktails
refreshing cold drinks
milkshakes
creamy frozen desserts
But expanding the menu often creates problems:
complicated inventory
inconsistent results in machines
slow staff training
higher operational costs
NAC Beverage Solutions products are designed to simplify this.
One ingredient range that allows operators to build a complete frozen beverage menu without complexity.
The Core NAC Beverage Solutions Product Range
NAC organizes its beverage solutions into two professional product lines.
Together they allow operators to create both refreshing frozen drinks and creamy dessert-style beverages using the same equipment platform (for the frozen range).
This flexibility makes NAC suitable for cafés, bars, restaurants, leisure venues and seasonal locations that want to expand their drink menu without complicating preparation.
Concentrated Syrups
For Refreshing Frozen Drinks and Cold Beverages
NAC concentrated syrups form the base for a wide range of refreshing beverage concepts.
They are designed for slush machines, granita dispensers and cold drink systems, and can be served as frozen or chilled drinks depending on the machine setup.
Typical applications
• Classic granita
• Slush drinks
• Carbonated slush drinks
• Frozen cocktails
• Frozen mocktails
• Flavoured cold drinks
The same syrup base can be used across different drink formats. Operators can prepare traditional slush drinks, sparkling frozen beverages or chilled drinks, with or without alcohol depending on the concept.
This approach simplifies inventory while maintaining consistent colour, flavour and serving quality.
Available flavour profiles
Examples from the NAC range include:
Fruit flavours
• Lemon
• Orange
• Mango & Passion Fruit
• Strawberry
• Cherry
• Watermelon
• Blue Raspberry
• Mint
• Bubble Gum
• Acai
Cocktail / Mocktail style flavours
• Mojito
• Margarita
• Piña Colada
• Daiquiri
• Spritz
• Mai Tai
• Pink Gin
These flavours allow venues to build family-friendly menus as well as adult frozen cocktail programs using the same equipment.
Powder Mixes
Crema (Cold Cream / Soft Cream)
NAC crema powders create smooth, creamy frozen drinks that can also be served as a soft-serve style product depending on the machine. Popular flavours include chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, caramel, hazelnut, yogurt, espresso coffee, original coffee and ginseng coffee.
Milkshakes
NAC milkshake powders are designed for easy preparation and consistent texture in milkshake machines or frozen drink systems. Core flavours include chocolate, caramel, vanilla and strawberry.
Sorbets
The sorbet range offers refreshing fruit-based frozen drinks that are especially popular during warm seasons. Typical flavours include lemon, limoncello and mango & passion fruit.
Simple Preparation
Most NAC powder mixes only need to be blended with water to create a ready-to-use base. The formulation is already balanced, which simplifies preparation, reduces contamination risk and helps staff achieve consistent results during busy service.
Why NAC Syrups Work Well in Frozen Drink Machines
Frozen drinks depend on a precise balance between sugar content, freezing behaviour and viscosity. If the formulation is not correct, machines struggle to maintain a stable slush texture and performance can become inconsistent.
NAC syrups are formulated using sucrose (regular sugar) instead of high-fructose corn syrup. This helps create a predictable freezing curve and allows the product to crystallize evenly inside the machine.
The result is a smoother slush texture, stable dispensing and more reliable operation throughout the day.
THE INTERNAL QUALITY LABORATORY
TOTAL TRACEABILITY AND CONSTANT MONITORING
Clean Label Advantage
Using sucrose instead of highly processed sweeteners also creates a cleaner ingredient profile. The sweetness is more balanced and natural, without the artificial aftertaste often associated with HFCS-based syrups.
While sugar itself is often debated, the approach focuses on simplicity and transparency — fewer processed ingredients and a formulation that both operators and customers understand.
Benefits for Machine Performance
The formulation also supports the mechanical side of frozen drink systems. A stable freezing curve helps maintain consistent viscosity and reduces stress on the refrigeration and mixing components inside the machine.
In daily operation this contributes to:
consistent crystallization
stable viscosity control
smooth, easy-to-serve texture
reliable dispensing during service
reduced mechanical stress and potentially longer machine life
REAL EXPERIENCE
TO HELP YOU MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE
Experience from Both Sides of the Industry
There is also an important historical connection behind these formulations.
The founder behind NAC was previously responsible for building CAB, one of the most recognized slush machine manufacturers in the world, now part of the Celli Group. Decades of experience in designing frozen drink machines also influenced the development of NAC beverage formulations.
This connection means the ingredients were developed with a deep understanding of how slush systems behave in real operation.
Real-World Operation
At Der Süße Stopp, we not only distribute machines and beverage solutions — we operate slush equipment ourselves at our shop in Achensee.
This hands-on experience allows us to see how different products behave during daily service. NAC formulations have proven to deliver stable freezing behaviour and consistent results, which is why we include them in our beverage solutions portfolio.
Safety as the Ultimate Ingredient
Thinking about tomorrow
Great taste is impossible without safety and continuous innovation. In the Horeca sector, consistency and food safety are essential priorities. At NAC, the goal is not only to follow industry standards but to go beyond them — designing production systems that protect product quality while ensuring that growth never comes at the expense of the environment.
Reliable Production and Quality Control
Behind every NAC Beverage Solutions product stands a modern production infrastructure designed for reliability, safety and consistent quality.
The company operates a 2,500 m² production facility with the capacity to produce up to 10 million liters of liquid preparations and 2 million kilograms of powder products annually. This scale allows NAC to supply international markets while maintaining strict quality standards across all production batches.
Controlled Production Process
Quality control is integrated throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Production systems are designed for full traceability, allowing every batch to be tracked from raw ingredients to finished product. Advanced filtration systems ensure that the water used in production meets strict purity standards, helping preserve the intended flavour profile of each beverage.
Automatic Hygiene Systems
The facility operates with an automatic Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) system, a technology widely used in professional food production.
This closed-loop cleaning system sanitizes production lines internally without disassembling equipment. It reduces contamination risks between batches and ensures high standards of hygiene throughout the production process.
Responsible and Sustainable Operation
NAC Beverage Solutions also integrates sustainability into its production infrastructure. The facility uses photovoltaic energy systems, reducing environmental impact while supporting efficient large-scale manufacturing.
The result is a production process designed to deliver consistent flavour, reliable supply and high food safety standards for the Horeca sector.

The easiest way is to contact us directly. At Der Süße Stopp we work with both beverage ingredients and frozen drink machines, so we can help you select the right NAC products and equipment for your menu and service environment.
What syrup is best for a slush machine?
A good slush machine syrup must have the correct sugar balance and viscosity so the mixture freezes properly without becoming too hard or too watery. Professional syrups like NAC concentrates are formulated specifically for frozen beverage machines, helping maintain stable slush texture and consistent flavor during service.
What is the difference between granita syrup and slush syrup?
Granita and slush drinks are very similar, but granita typically has a slightly coarser ice texture while slush drinks are smoother and more uniform. In practice, many professional syrups such as NAC concentrates can be used for both applications depending on the machine settings and dilution ratio.
How much syrup is needed for a slush machine?
The required amount depends on the concentration of the syrup and the recommended mixing ratio. Most professional slush syrups are diluted with water before being poured into the machine. Following the correct ratio ensures proper freezing behavior, balanced sweetness and stable drink texture.
Did We Mention the Packaging?
intelligent and sustainable
NAC did not only rethink beverage formulations — they also redesigned the packaging.
Their patented canister system is built to simplify logistics, reduce waste and make daily operation easier for professionals working in high-volume environments.
The ergonomic container shape allows smooth and complete emptying, preventing air bubbles and product residues that are difficult to manage in traditional containers.
The shaped bottom helps release the product more efficiently, reducing waste and ensuring the maximum amount of concentrate can be used.
Finally, the stackable design allows the containers to be stored and transported without external cartons, improving logistics efficiency while lowering the environmental impact of transport.
