Bourbon Slush

Method

Steps

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat, and add tea bags; let steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags. (If using loose-leaf tea, pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a 4-quart heatproof liquid measuring cup or container; discard solids.) Whisk in sugar until completely dissolved.
  2. Add the bourbon, lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrate, and the remaining 7 cups of water to the tea syrup and whisk together in the saucepan.
  3. Transfer mixture to a large disposable aluminum pan or large freezer-safe container, and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  4. Cover and freeze until almost frozen solid but still spoonable (mixture will not freeze completely), at least 4 hours.
  5. To serve, spoon about 1 cup of the bourbon mixture into a double rocks glass. Top each glass with ginger ale (about 1/4 cup), and gently stir to break up large shards of ice.
