Recipe of the Month

This sociable beverage has been enjoyed by the grown-ups at Cooke Livestock for many years.  The recipe comes from one of Grant’s sisters and it is the perfect drink to relax with on the veranda after a long day in the sun, or at a get-together with friends.  Slush does need some time to freeze, so be sure to plan accordingly, and you won’t be disappointed!

“Slush”

3 cups sugar
8 cups water
1- 48oz size of pineapple juice (Dole brand is the best)
1 - 26oz bottle vodka or gin
1- 6oz can of frozen lemonade (softened)
1- 12oz can of frozen orange juice (softened)
2 ripe bananas (peeled)

Boil the sugar and water together for fifteen minutes to make a simply syrup.  Let cool to room temperature and add the pineapple juice and vodka. Set aside.

In a blender, combine the orange juice and lemonade with the bananas, and blend until smooth.  Combine the two mixtures in a large container (an ice cream pail works great) and freeze overnight.

To serve, fill a glass half full of “slush” and then top it up with Ginger ale, 7-Up or Sprite.  Garnish with mint leaves and enjoy.

word for word what you shouldn't have said.”
