I served Amaretto Slush to a group of friends years ago. My sis shared the recipe with me, and she said it was always a hit. She wasn't kidding. My friends drank and drank and drank. Nobody felt the effects of the drink until the next morning when, um, getting up for work was a bit more difficult than anyone imagined. BUT they ALL ask for this every single time we get together, so it's worth it!
Amaretto Slush
6 oz frozen oj
12 oz frozen lemonade
3/4 c lemon juice
1 1/2 c amaretto
40 oz Sprite
Mix and freeze. *I freeze in gallon sized ziplock bags on a cookie sheet. It freezes much faster this way.
Bourbon Slush
1 c sugar
1 c brewed iced tea
2 c bourbon
6 c water
6 oz frozen oj
6 oz frozen lemonade
Mix and freeze.
And my all time favorite punch:
Coffee Punch
2 qt strong brewed coffee, chilled (double the coffee or 1/2 the water)
2/3 c sugar
2 qt vanilla ice cream
Prepare the strong-brewed coffee. While the coffee is still hot, add the sugar and mix. Chill coffee. Before serving, add the ice cream to punch bowl. Serves about 30 punch cups.
*If you don't mind spiked punch, it's really yummy if you add 1/2 pint rum.
Enjoy!

OMG, the amaretto slush sounds fabulous! I'm so going to have to try that, and soon. Bummer I have to work this weekend.
It has been a very long time since I have had an 'adult beverage' but this was always a good one:
Run, Skip and Go Nakeds:
1 Can of frozen lemonade- put in blender
Fill now empty can with vodka-add to blender
Slowly, carefully add one beer.
Blend a bit more.
I am not a fan of beer, you really can't taste it in this....
Yum...
I vote that we all get together and share our drink recipes. These sound the summertime attitude adjustment I need!
Sounds delish...I may have to try these. If I can quit being lazy. :)
Amaretto slush sounds perfect on these hot days. I'm going to have to try me some of that ;) Thanks for sharing.
About that line: "*If you don't mind spiked punch," now who would be that crazy??
I better not ever let darling daughter see those recipes. The child who, just a year ago, would have a heart attack if anyone even went near her with alcohol has uh... changed since the whole dorming experience. (Yeah, just a tip you may want to keep in mind 15 years from now.)
