TGIF Cocktail: Mardi Gras Bourbon Slush

Let the festivities begin!  Mardi Gras = Party time!  Try a Bourbon Slush that is sure to please.  It’s great as a non-alcoholic beverage as well–just substitute the bourbon for ginger lemon tea.

Ingredients:

1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 cups strong brewed black tea
2 cups bourbon whiskey*
1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage**

Directions:

In a large bowl or container, mix together the orange juice concentrate, lemon concentrate, pineapple juice, sugar, tea, and whiskey*.  Transfer to shallow bowls or dishes, and freeze overnight.

Remove the frozen mixture from the freezer and let stand for about 10 minutes.  Chop with a wire whisk or potato masher to make a slushy consistency.  Place scoops of the frozen slush into glasses, and top off with the lemon-lime flavored soda.**

Other variations we love:

*for non alcoholic, use 2 cups brewed ginger-lemon tea
**try lemon or lime flavored sparkling mineral water for a less sweet version

Pop this slushy concoction into your Hydro Flask for a tasty cold treat that will last all day long.
