I just got back from Baltimore; my cousin graduated from high school. For his party, my aunt's best friend Mary B made the adults whiskey slushies -- oh, they were festive and refreshing! Jason and I were talking about them today and many of you emailed us for the recipe. Well, I got it!
Whiskey Slushies
- 1 can (12 fl. oz.) frozen lemonade concentrate thawed
- 1 can (12 fl. oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate thawed
- 2 cups strong brewed black tea (we used 4 Lipton teabags)
- 2 cups whiskey
- 7 cups water
- 1 liter ginger ale, Sprite or 7 Up
- 2 lemons in wedge (for garnish)
DIRECTIONS
- Combine lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrate, tea, whiskey and water. Mix well and freeze for 24 hours (could be less, but more than 2 hours).
- About half an hour before you serve, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or so. Break up with a fork and scoop into a glass, 1/2 to 3/4 full. Pour ginger ale/Sprite/7 Up to fill the glass. Stir and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
- ENJOY!
The original recipe Mary B got from her friend called for 1-2 cups of sugar; you add this to the mixture prior to freezing. She thought it was sweet enough, so we didn't add it.
I forgot this, Stacy emailed us her recipe:
