COLORADO SLUSH

Sweet, slightly fruity, and tropical this is a refreshing frozen adult beverage. It's a little on the strong side so add the lemon-lime soda topper to suit your taste. This is perfect for summer BBQs or sipping poolside - a definite crowd-pleaser. The best part... no blender is required. An easy frozen cocktail!

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c apricot brandy
1 c vodka
1 can(s) pineapple juice, 46 oz.
1 can(s) can frozen pink lemonade, 6 oz.
1 can(s) frozen orange juice, 6 oz.
Sprite, 7-up or any lemon-lime soda

Steps:

  • 1. I double this recipe, always. Gather the ingredients.
  • 2. Simply put all ingredients into a large bowl and whisk together. No need to thaw frozen juices as the alcohol and pineapple juice will thaw them as you whisk. Put into airtight container (allow 1 inch of air space) and freeze overnight.
  • 3. To serve: Place two ice cream scoops of icy yummy slush into a stemmed goblet or any pretty glass and top with a splash or more of your favorite lemon-lime type soda for ease of sipping immediately (ie: Sprite, 7-up.)
  • 4. Add a straw and decorate with an orange slice and a cherry over the edge of the glass.

Tips:

  • Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is the key to a slush that's thick and icy. Fresh fruit will not work as well, as it will make the slush too watery.
  • Add some ice: If you don't have any frozen fruit, you can add some ice cubes to the blender. This will help to thicken the slush and make it more icy.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender is essential for making a smooth slush. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the slush for longer.
  • Add some flavorings: You can add some flavorings to your slush to make it more delicious. Some popular flavorings include fruit juice, flavored syrups, and extracts.
  • Serve immediately: Slush is best served immediately after it's made. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to melt and become watery.

Conclusion:

Colorado slush is a delicious and refreshing treat that's perfect for a hot summer day. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a Colorado slush that's sure to impress your friends and family.
