Best Bourbon Slush Recipe (No Concentrates)

The Best Bourbon Slush recipe is a frozen cocktail blending brewed black tea, orange juice, lemonade, and bourbon. After sweetening the tea with sugar, mixing the juices and bourbon, it’s frozen until slushy, creating a refreshing icy drink with citrus and tea notes balanced by the warmth of bourbon. Its slushy texture makes it ideal for cooling off during warm weather or social occasions.
