More About This Recipe

  • Perfect for fancy Super Bowl parties, Kentucky Derby parties, BBQ’s or a weeknight happy-hour-at-home, this citrusy, boozy Bourbon Slushie is unforgettable. Even better, it’s easy! Reminiscent of Southern sweet tea, with a delightful, spicy bourbon kick, the original Bourbon Slushie recipe for this drink comes from Ang, of the fun and hilariously-touted “fourth funniest blog on the web,” Tall Curly Biscuit. Frozen juice concentrates (orange juice and lemonade) make this grown-up slushie extra quick and simple to throw together. Also, don’t be afraid to experiment with other juice flavors and liquors to create your own signature drinks. Mango-limeade rum slushie anyone? Just use green tea instead of regular black tea, use mango and limeade concentrates instead of the orange and lemonade, and use light rum instead of the bourbon. Bottoms up!
