Mid-summer Madness Slush or Punch (alcoholic)

Ingredients

• 2 cups apricot brandy
• 1 cup vodka or rum (I usually double this)

• 1 (48 ounce) can pineapple juice

• 1 (48 ounce) can apricot nectar (I think this is only available in Canada, so other nationalities can use a passion fruit juice)

• 1 (16 ounce) can almost thawed frozen orange juice concentrate (don't add water)

• 1 (16 ounce) can almost thawed frozen lemonade concentrate (don't add water)

• 2 (2 liter) bottles 7-Up soda or ginger ale or soda water

Garnish if serving in punch bowl

• 1 lemon (optional)
• 1 lime (optional)
• 1 orange (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Mix all together in a 1 gallon freezable container or ice cream bucket and freeze until slushy.

2. 2

   To serve: Scoop 2 parts slush to one part 7 Up, Gingerale or Soda Water OR Scoop slush into a large punch bowl and add 7 Up, Gingerale or Soda Water.

3. 3

   Garnish with lemons, limes and oranges (or any other fruit you prefer).

4. 4

   Try putting half the slush into the punch bowl and add one bottle of pop to test your alcohol/mix taste requirements.

5. 5

   AS a warning, it does not have a strong alcohol taste!

6. 6

   I prefer using the scoop in the glass method to making it in a punch bowl because like all punches with pop, the pop eventually goes flat.

7. 7

   This stays in the freezer well and if your guests don't guzzle it all (fat chance on that one!), you can easily serve it again in the near future.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
