This sweet and boozy Brandy Slush is the perfect drink to make in advance and keep it frozen until ready to serve!
Ingredients
- 9 cups water, divided
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 can (12 ounce) frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
- 1 can (12 ounce) frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed)
- 2 cups Brandy
- ½ cup Peach Schnapps
- lemon-lime pop, for serving
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of the water with the granulated sugar. Heat over medium high heat and whisk until the sugar is dissolved (making a simple syrup). Set aside.
- In a gallon sized ice cream pail (or similar sized freezer safe container), combine the thawed orange juice and lemonade with the Brandy and Peach Schnapps. Mix well and add the remaining 7 cups of water. Pour in the simple syrup you made. Cover and freeze for 24 hours.
- To serve, using an ice cream scoop, scrape slush into a glass. Top with lemon lime pop and enjoy!
Notes
- First step...eat an entire gallon of ice cream. I know. I'm asking a lot here...but it's got to be done! You need that empty ice cream tub to make this slush. Not any tupperware bowl will do, haha (actually it would), it MUST be an ice cream tub (actually any freezer safe bowl and lid will do...but it's more fun eating ice cream)!
- SECOND...if you have children, make sure they are aware this has alcohol. Somehow label it or put it in the back of the freezer out of sight (especially important if you have teens, haha)!
- Think of all the flavor possibilities as you make this slush. Try it my way the first time....then go crazy. Buy pink lemonade. Or frozen grape juice. Or cranberry juice. Seriously there are so many options!
- This takes about 24 hours to freeze completely. I like to put it in the glass then pour the Sprite over the top. If you use a deeper glass than what I show (like a highball glass, or water glass), use your straw to mix it a little bit to make it slush like! You're welcome! ENJOY!
You should try to use the soda called squirt. Silly name but it’s what we use and it’s so delicious.
Do you think I could make this a couple weeks in advance and just save it in the freezer?
Absolutely. We make it and enjoy all summer until it’s gone!
Loved this recipe. It’s so crisp and refreshing.
What a beautiful vibrant color! Love this in slush form.
Just made a batch of this and it was so good! Loved how easy it was to put together!
This definitely takes me back to my college days!! Going to make this for my next girls night in. Thanks!
This turned out so great and was a great treat! Loved the orange juice in it!
I just made my 3rd batch, my husband loves it.
We like to serve it with 50/50.
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Yay!!
Great recipe
Easy delicious with 7 up
I love this. Thank you for sharing yet another awesome treat recipe.
Perfect refreshment for the heat wave we have here 🙂 Thank you so much !
Nice one for grown ups
Great recipe, easy. I can not wait to do it!
Oh wow!!! This is such a great idea for the 4th of july!! YUM!! Do you think would be ok with sparkling water/club soda instead of lemon/lime soda? After looking at the ingredients, I can’t imagine it needing to be sweeter… I’m not a super sweet beverage kind of gal. But I am a COLD SLUSHY on a HOT day kind of gal!! YUM!
Sparkling water or club soda would be GREAT with this!!
Finally was directed to recipe. Can’t wait to try this summer
I can’t locate your recipe for this delish looking slush 🙁
Another way to make a familiar dish. I think it will be very attractive. I will do it for my family’s dinner. Thanks for your guidance a lot!
I bet this is insanely good and refreshing! My grandma used to make something similar to this that involved an ice cream bucket, sugar, and booze!
Gotta love Grandma’s! They know what they’re doing 🙂
This looks like a great summertime and BBQ drink!
