Aunt Weasie’s Ides of March Bourbon Slushies!

_____________________________________________________________
2 cups boiling water

4 tea bags

2 cups sugar
Combine and let steep a bit, then take out tea bags and add
12 oz. frozen OJ concentrate

6 oz. frozen lemonade

2 cups bourbon

7 cups water
Put in a large plastic container and freeze overnight.

Remember that it will expand a little, make sure it has room to do so.

Hint: when I’m drinking them straight out of the freezer, I sometimes use one cup less water to make them stronger and slushier (otherwise you sometimes have to let them thaw a little). For taking them somewhere, though, I’d definitely do the full dilution, they’ll freeze better.

Bon Chance kids....
