Booze Slush
A refreshing frozen beverage combining citrus flavors and green tea, perfect for hot days and casual gatherings, served with a splash of 7-Up for a fizzy finish.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring water, green tea bags, and sugar to a boil.
- Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
- Add frozen lemonade, frozen orange juice, and the cooled tea mixture; blend together.
- Pour the mixture into a container and freeze until firm.
- When ready to serve, scoop into glasses and top with 7-Up.
Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter slush, increase the sugar slightly or use a flavored syrup like grenadine. You can substitute the frozen lemonade and orange juice with fresh juice, but this may alter the texture. Consider using herbal tea bags instead of green tea for a different flavor profile. Experiment with other fizzy drinks, such as ginger ale, for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Booze Slush in chilled glasses for a refreshing treat on hot days. Garnish with fresh fruit slices or mint leaves for an extra touch. This slush pairs beautifully with light appetizers like Garden Patch Coleslaw or can be enjoyed alongside a summer barbecue for a fun and festive drink option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover slush in an airtight container in the freezer. To rehydrate and enjoy later, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. If it becomes too solid, blend it briefly with a splash of water or additional 7-Up to regain a slushy consistency.
