Bourbon Slush - Make Tonight To Enjoy All Weekend

I love bourbon.  In the winter, put it on the rocks.  In the spring, add a little simple syrup and mint.  In the summer, combine it with fruit tea and freeze.  Yum.  Bourbon slush is the perfect cocktail for hot and hazy August afternoons.  It takes a little advance planning, but it is well worth the wait! I've made this Garden & Gun recipe several times this summer.  I usually double the recipe.

Garden and Gun Bourbon Slush

6 cups water

2 cups strong tea

2 cups bourbon

1 cup sugar

1 (6 oz) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

1 (6 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

Mix all ingredients in large container until sugar dissolves.  Ladle punch into Ziploc freezer bags.  Freeze overnight.  Thaw about an hour before serving.  It's especially yummy diluted with a little sprite or beer.  

NOTE:  To make strong tea, boil 2 cups water, then add 4 regular tea bags.  Steep until cool.
