Lush Slush Recipe

This old family favorite adult beverage is perfect for holidays and summer! A delightfully sweet, non-boozy tasting slushy that's best frozen overnight for a perfect consistency. The vibrant colors make it a showstopper – choose from apricot, peach, or blackberry (though blackberry might be a bit less visually appealing!). Makes a large batch, perfect for sharing!

How to Make Lush Slush

  1. In a large, freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid (at least 2 quarts), combine all ingredients.
  2. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Every 2-3 hours, remove the container from the freezer and stir well to break up ice crystals and prevent a solid block of ice.
  5. Once the slush reaches a desired consistency, serve in tall glasses.
  6. For each serving, combine 1/2 cup of Lush Slush with 1/2 cup of your choice of lemon-lime soda (e.g., 7 Up, Sprite, Fresca).
  7. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
  8. Optionally, add 1-2 ounces of brandy per serving (adjust to your preference).
