This week’s DoAhead Dining is another refreshing beverage. My great Aunt Mable used to serve this on a hot summer day. Deeelish!

Summertime Slush

Ingredients:

Water

2 cups Sugar

4 Green Tea Bags

12 oz can Lemonade

12 oz can concentrated Orange Juice

3 cups Gin or Vodka

Sprite or 7up

Boil and cool 7 cups water and 2 cups sugar. Boil 2 cups water and steep 4 green tea bags and cool. Add lemonade and orange juice. Add gin or vodka (the alcohol keeps the liquids from freezing completely…it makes for a nice “slushy” consistency). Combine all ingredients and freeze at least 24 hours. Fill a glass half full of frozen mix and top with Sprite or 7 up.

This recipe is a terrific DoAhead since the primary mixture will keep in the freezer all summer.
