Description
A great slushy drink that my grandma always makes for the holidays. A festive drink, for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water, Divided
- ⅞ cups White Granulated Sugar
- 6 ounces, weight Frozen Orange Juice
- 6 ounces, weight Frozen Lemonade
- ½ pints Lime Vodka
- 1 cup Tea, Prepared (Lipton)
- 4 drops Green Food Coloring
Preparation
Boil 1 cup water and 7/8 cup sugar until dissolved. To that, add the orange juice, lemonade, lime vodka, prepared tea, remaining 3 cups water, and food coloring.
Put the mixture in a large container with a lid (I usually use a 5-qt ice cream bucket that has been cleaned out), place it in the freezer, and stir the mixture occasionally while it freezes.
To serve, place 2 scoops of the mixture into a glass and add your favorite lemon-lime beverage, such as 7-up, Sprite, or Sierra Mist.
