Bourbon Slush Recipe: Kentucky Derby Museum Cookbook

A sweet, summer classic from our own Kentucky Derby Museum Cookbook:

Ingredients

Makes 3 Quarts

Directions

Get your bourbon fix at the next summer cookout! Whether your guests are experienced bourbon connoisseurs or bourbon newbies, this drink will quickly become everyone’s favorite. It contains a hefty dose of bourbon but is sweet enough for the novices to thoroughly enjoy.

To begin, brew a small batch of tea and let cool to room temperature. Mix in the frozen but thawed lemonade & orange juice along with the sugar & water.

Now, for the most important part! Add the liquid goodness, [any] Kentucky bourbon, and mix. As always, feel free to be a bit more generous with this ingredient.

Cover & place in freezer overnight to get your bourbon-infused slushy goodness.

The next day, scoop the bourbon treat into a glass & garnish with pineapple chunks on a toothpick, or cherry. Enjoy!

Tips

Make the bourbon slush portable! Put mix into a plastic container with a lid and pop into a cooler filled with ice. For easy access, bring a scooping utensil.

Beware: Once you make this deliciousness, all of your bourbon-loving, tailgating friends will ask you to make a batch (or two) for every summer outing!
