Brandy Slush Recipe
Description
The Brandy Slush Recipe starts by brewing black or green tea, sweetened with granulated sugar to create a flavorful base. The tea is combined with frozen lemonade and orange juice concentrates to provide brightness and tartness. Two cups of brandy add warmth and depth. The mixture is poured into a container and frozen for at least eight hours to achieve a slushy consistency.
To serve, portions of the frozen slush are placed in glasses and topped with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water, adding effervescence and diluting sweetness to taste. Garnishing with lemon and orange wedges enhances visual appeal and fresh citrus aroma.
The recipe yields about twelve servings, making it ideal for parties or large groups. Using frozen juice concentrates is essential to achieve the signature texture of the slush. Storing the slush in an airtight container in the freezer helps maintain its quality for future use.
Ingredients
- 7 cups water divided
- 4 black tea bags or green tea bags (see note 1)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) container lemonade concentrate thawed (see note 2, frozen
- 1 (12 ounce) container orange juice concentrate thawed, frozen
- 2 cups brandy
- lemon-lime soda or sparkling water, for serving (see note 3)
- lemon and orange wedges, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups water to boil. Add tea bags and steep 3 to 5 minutes. Discard bags and stir in sugar until dissolved.
- In a 1 gallon plastic ice cream pail or other container, combine remaining 5 cups water, sweetened tea, both frozen juice concentrates, and brandy. Freeze at least 8 hours or overnight.
- To serve, add 1/2 cup Brandy Slush to a glass. Top with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. Garnish with orange and lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Use either black or green tea bags according to preference; both produce good flavor bases.
- Frozen lemonade concentrate can be substituted with limeade or pink lemonade concentrate, as long as it is frozen to contribute to the slush texture.
- Lemon-lime soda options include Sprite, 7-Up, or Sierra Mist. Sparkling water may be used for a less sweet topping.
- This recipe makes about 12 servings, suitable for scaling depending on the crowd size.
- Store the slush mixture in a freezer-safe, airtight container to preserve freshness and slush texture.
