Whiskey Slush

classic slush from the ’70’s kind of a frozen Arnold Palmer less sugar, less water and can sub vodka, rum or brandy. I will also use this: 1 c. limeade 1 c. water 1 c. rum 2 c. lemon sour (12oz) 1 T. sugar

I had these for the first time at my boss’ Christmas party. They were so yummy. I would tweak the ratios slightly (for my preference). I would up the whiskey to 3-4 cups, add a little more tea flavor, and slightly less sugar.

This is a must year round keep in the freezer. Great recipe great anytime of year.

I have had this recipe for years but had forgotten about it. 4 stars as is, but like others, changes can be made to improve this – leave out extra water, concentrating the tea.

Easy. No changes. It was great – everyone loved it!!

This reminded so much of the brandy slush my mother liked to make for parties when I was a child. Due to the fact I really don’t care for brandy I loved the whiskey twist in this recipe. While it was a bit sweet for our taste once the ginger ale was added it was still so refreshing.

Used lime instead of lemon. Family loved it over the 4th! Refreshing.

A family Christmas favorite! Mom’s recipe says 2 small cans OJ and Lemonade. Always over buy because thats when they used to have 6 oz cans!

I made the recipe to the letter, and all my friends enjoyed it. It is a nice holiday treat!

Made using Jim Beam Apple – so good

My mom would make this for holiday parties. So glad to find it again! Back in rotation for my family gatherings at the holidays. I do not add the sugar. It is fine without.

This was great! I added pineapple juice as one reviewer recommended. We used Canada Dry until it ran out, then switched to any other soda we had.

It’s a constant here…unfortunately. Ha! It is seriously one of the most dangerous beverages I know how to make. I use less water but more black tea. When I serve it, I like to do a little floater on the top for people who don’t like sweet being the first thing they notice. I also don’t use the sugar. Perfect anytime.

This might be my new summer favorite. I left out the sugar (and even used a diet ginger ale), and they were just the right amount of sweet. Dangerous though! They went down WAY too smoothly!

Love it! I can’t tell you, how many buckets of this stuff, I have made. It is delicious!

Big party hit. I use about 1/4 of the sugar, and heavy pour on the whiskey. If I keep the orange juice I use Sprite – if using limeade instead I go with gingerale.

Substituted frozen can of limeade for the orange juice and cut the sugar down to 1/3 cup. Amazing!

In Wisconsin we use brandy. It’s a summertime must to have in the freezer.

I’ve been making this for years and it’s always requested. the only suggestion I can make is to try it with 50/50 or Squirt, if you can find it. It’s delicious!

This recipe (or many variations of it) has been around for at least 40 years. Great summer cooler which can be made with your choice of booze. There are many flavored syrups available (many with no sugar) so you can flavor it any way you want. Just substitute frozen lineade concentrate for the Orange juice for a more neutral base to suit your booze choice. I agree that the sugar is not needed. Between the juice concentrates and flavored booze and syrup it’s just sugar overload. I want to taste the booze so increase the dosage to satisfy your own desired taste level. I’ve been enjoying this slush for years and I’m sure you will too.
