- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups warm water
Slush Ingredients
- 6 oz can frozen orange juice, thawed
- 6 oz can frozen lemonade, thawed
- 6 cups water
- 3 teaspoons instant tea
- 1 1/2 cups bourbon (can substitute rum for rum slush)
Instructions
- Dissolve sugar: In a mixing container, dissolve the sugar completely by stirring it into 2 cups of warm water to create a sweet syrup base.
- Combine ingredients: Add the thawed frozen orange juice, thawed frozen lemonade, 6 cups of water, instant tea, and bourbon to the sugar syrup mixture.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir everything vigorously until all ingredients are well combined and the tea is fully dissolved.
- Freeze the mixture: Transfer the combined liquid into a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer overnight to allow the mixture to become slushy and chilled.
- Prepare to serve: Remove the slush about 30 minutes before serving to let it soften slightly, making it easier to scoop and enjoy.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the bourbon or replace with additional tea or water.
- Substitute bourbon with rum to make a Rum Slush variation.
- Thaw frozen orange juice and lemonade fully before mixing to ensure smooth consistency.
- Stir the slush occasionally if freezing longer to maintain texture.
