    Some folks just don't get what the Slushie is all about. I prefer them in the summer, but when My Beautiful Wife makes a batch, regardless of the weather, be it hot or cold, I politely accept my offered share.

    I like the fact that I can just have some made up sittin in the freezer in the jars and have one at will.

    Just made a recipe to get a baseline flavor. Tastes good so far. 
    I got 9x 500 ml mason jars filled for Friday nights festivities. 
    That's a great idea. I just got rid of two dozen brand new 500ml mason jars.  :o

    I put my concoction in an extra large Ziploc freezer bag, to be squeezed into a glass whenever the mood strikes.


    Being in the south, mason jars are a staple, for whatever purpose you desire.  I'd kill to get my hands on 2 DOZEN of them!!!!  Got a batch of brandy getting ready to run!  Then it'll be some regular 'shine.

    Guess I'll have to try them on the bourbon shlushie.....

    Trying my hand at this:



    Think I did my math wrong - thought a 1 gal container was big enough. Turns out it is just barely big enough. Need to divide before freezing and put some in a Ziploc bag as others have suggested.

    Portion it out into heavy duty zipper lock bags and freeze.  It's the method of choice.  Be careful, when imbibing...

    Funny thing happened when I made it the other day for Kelly and Bruce. I got the measurements flipped between the water and Bourbon. I actually had to break open a second bottle of Bourbon. Once I had the 7 cups in the 5 qt pitcher I keep telling myself "This ain't gonna fit!" Looked back at the recipe then hit myself in the back of my head! Oh crap 3 cups not 7! All went well as I did start with the Bourbon. Many thanks to your wife Ron, this is a keeper for sure.

    Curious why this hits folks so hard. A 500 ml serving (which seems to be the going rate) is about 17 oz which should contain about 3.6 oz of bourbon, a bit over two shots. If you drink 7, OK, I can see the problem. But one or two shouldn't be an issue. What am I missing?

    Ron, it freezes regretfully. It certainly has at -5 f in my deep freeze. Just went down to grab a mason jar and frozen solid. We seem to like it though, before it froze. Thanks.

    I agree.  And think the majority here are recreational.

    That seems pretty common with sweet frozen drinks that have a normal amount of alcohol (bars put a lot less in).  You drink it and can't taste the booze, so folks drink more than they usually do and drink it quicker, before it melts.

    I pull them out about 30 minutes prior to drinking and just pull one out accordingly. Start one, pull one, start one, pull one. I also find the right straw works better than others. Mcdonalds or any fast food place straws are wider and usually stiffer.

    Drinking and Kardashians? Reminds me of when I ran into Khloe while out drinking after work with clients. It was July in Miami at a restaurant on Lincoln Road with the doors open.
