Several friends and I have decided to collaborate on a new blog dedicated to the enjoyment of fine libations. Meanwhile, here’s a recipe for Bourbon Slushies (one of the domains for this blog!):
Aunt Weasie’s Bourbon Slushies
2 cups boiling water
4 tea bags
2 cups sugarCombine and let steep a bit, then take out tea bags and add
12 oz. frozen OJ concentrate
6 oz. frozen lemonade
2 cups bourbon
7 cups waterPut in a large plastic container and freeze overnight. Remember that it will expand a little, make sure it has room to do so. Also remember that if you are using an insulated drink container, make sure to take the lid OFF before you put it in the freezer. otherwise you will be insulating your drink from the cold of the freezer (not that I have ever done this).
Hint: when I’m drinking them straight out of the freezer, I sometimes use one cup less water to make them stronger and slushier (otherwise you sometimes have to let them thaw a little). For taking them somewhere, though, I’d definitely do the full dilution, they’ll freeze better.
