Ingredients
Instructions

- Stir occasionally while freezing to ensure even consistency.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother slush, blend the frozen orange juice and lemonade with a bit of water before adding the sugar and peach Schnapps. You can substitute the peach Schnapps with a peach-flavored vodka for a lighter option. Adjust the sugar to taste; if you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce it by half. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes while freezing for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Fuzzy Navel Slush in tall glasses and top with 7-Up or Squirt for a fizzy finish. Garnish with fresh peach slices or a sprig of mint for an added touch. This delightful slush pairs beautifully with BBQ dishes or summer salads like Shut The Gate Salad, making it a perfect refreshment for outdoor gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover slush in an airtight container in the freezer. It can last for up to a month. To serve, scoop out the desired amount and let it thaw for a few minutes before using a fork to fluff it up. If it becomes too solid, blend it with a little soda to achieve the right consistency.
