SWEET VERMOUTH SLUSH
Spoon and serve this vermouth-orange slush as is for a lower-A.B.V. drink or top each portion, affogato-style, with a drinker's choice floater of hard spirit. Tequila, gin, brandy, bourbon or mezcal all work well. The key to prolonging the cocktail's icy texture is to make sure every element is chilled: Pop whatever liquors you plan to pour over top into the fridge when you put the slush in the freezer. This simple, plan-ahead move will keep your final drink from melting too fast.

Steps:
- In a shallow 9-by-9-inch baking pan, combine the orange juice, vermouth, simple syrup, orange liqueur and filtered water. Whisk to combine, then place in the freezer, uncovered, for 3 hours.
- After 3 hours, use a fork to scrape the frozen edges of the mixture toward the center, then continue freezing until the mixture is nearly set, at least 5 hours or overnight.
- Once frozen, use a fork to scrape into a fine, granitalike texture. If you are not serving immediately, transfer the vermouth slush to a covered container and freeze until ready to use.
- To serve, add 3/4 cup/6 ounces of the slush to a lowball glass and top with 3/4 to 1 ounce of your preferred liquor; serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits and juices will give your tequila slush a more vibrant flavor and aroma.
- Choose a good quality tequila: The quality of the tequila you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your slush. Look for a tequila that is 100% blue agave and has a smooth, clean taste.
- Don't over-blend the slush: Over-blending will make the slush too icy. Blend the slush just until it is smooth and slushy.
- Serve the slush immediately: Tequila slush is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The slush will start to melt as it sits, so don't make it too far in advance.
- Garnish the slush with your favorite toppings: You can garnish the slush with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, lime wedges, or a sprinkle of salt.
