Summertime Slush Recipes

With the heat of summer upon us, I thought it might be a good idea to share with you a couple of summer drink recipes. I love fruity, slushy drinks when it's hot out, and I think you will too!

Vodka or Rum Slush
1cup water
1cup sugar ( I only put 1/2 cup)
1 2 liter bottle of 7-up
46oz. can Pineapple Juice
6oz. can frozen Orange Juice
10oz. jar of cherries with juice
2 cups Rum or Vodka
Mix and Freeze

Whiskey Sour Slush
1/5 bourbon
3qts. Ginger Ale
1 lg. can Pineapple Juice
2 lg. cans frozen Orange Juice
4 oz. Real Lemon Juice
Mix and Freeze

Amaretta Slush
1 can Pineapple Juice (large)
3 cups Amaretta or Almond Favored liquer
1 6oz. can frozen lemonade or orange juice
1 3 liter Lemon Lime or Sprite
Mix and Freeze

Pina Colada Slush
1 can Pineapple Juice
2 12oz. cans frozen Lemonade
3 c. water
1 15oz. Creme Coconut
1 3liter Sprite, 7-up or Lemon Lime
Mix and Freeze

Margarita Slush
4 12oz. Frozen Limeade
3 qts. Water
3 cups Triple Sec or other orange flavored liquer
3 cups Tequila
2 (2liter) Sprite, Lemon Lime or 7-Up
Mix and Freeze

Double the recipes above to make plenty for guests. Keep an ice cream bucketful on hand to serve to drop-by guests. Sometimes, I omit the soda in the recipes, and just mix and freeze the other ingredients. When it's time to serve, I just scoop some of the frozen mix in a glass and pour white or sour soda to fill the glass.

These drinks are really good!
