Slush. It\’s an \”old family recipe\”, but only insofar as I learned it from my mother and haven\’t noticed it being referenced elsewhere. Perhaps it will become your \”old family recipe\”, too. It certainly predates the \”Slurpie\” from 7-11 fame (1965).
The lemonade concentrate can is the traditional measure.
1 can (any size) frozen pink lemonade concentrate
1 can whiskey [1]
2 cans water
1 jar maraschino cherries, stems or no at your preference.
In a freezable container, combine all ingredients, including the syrup
from the cherries. Stir. Freeze at least overnight.
The result after freezing is the Slush.
[1] By tradition, one must use the cheapest available whiskey. I thought I did well last year, purchasing a fifth of Kentucky Bourbon for $8.95. It might have been Old Forester. This year I picked up 1.75 l of Old Crow for $12.99 at the New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlet. Score!
