It’s Lissa‘s birthday! Despite the fact that we’re a few states away from each other these days, I’m celebrating with her bourbon slushes. These are such a great hot-weather drink, and are easy to make for a crowd, something Lissa almost always has at her house. 🙂 You should keep these in your freezer this summer!
Bourbon Slushes
Ingredients
- 2 tea bags
- 2 1/2 cups boiling water
- 6 oz lemonade concentrate
- 6 oz orange juice concentrate
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups bourbon
- 7-Up
Instructions
- Steep the two tea bags in the 2 1/2 cups boiling water
- Stir in lemonade and orange juice concentrates, water, and bourbon to the tea in a freezer-safe container
- Freeze for 24 hours or so (it won’t freeze completely solid because of the bourbon), then use an ice cream scoop or sturdy spoon to scoop into glasses
- Top with 7-Up, stir and serve
What are other summer drinks you love??
Happy birthday, girlfriend!

Um, I think we just became best friends! Are you kidding me with this drink?! I want one now, and it’s not even 9am. 🙂
Hahaha! I know! They are SO GREAT!
We need this and guac, ASAP!
You are speaking my language, girl!
So, I may have to route my long bike rides in the summer by your house and raid your freezer to um ‘cool off’… But then again, I don’t need a B.U.I.
You’d have to plan enough time to cool off and “recover” before you got back on the bike. 🙂
Or just call someone to pick me up lol!
Whatever works! 🙂
Thanks Mimi! Wish you were here for a toast to the birthday girl. Enjoying my birth month celebration!
Me too!! Glad you’re enjoying. 🙂
