WHISKEY SLUSH



Whiskey Slush image

My mom makes this every year for our Christmas party, and everyone loves it. I have made it for several of my own parties and it gets rave reviews! I like to split the recipe and do half with alcohol and half without. I use food coloring to color one of them pink so people can tell the difference. This recipe makes 4 quarts of frozen slush, so make sure you have containers large enough to hold it all in the freezer.

SWEET VERMOUTH SLUSH



Sweet Vermouth Slush image

Spoon and serve this vermouth-orange slush as is for a lower-A.B.V. drink or top each portion, affogato-style, with a drinker's choice floater of hard spirit. Tequila, gin, brandy, bourbon or mezcal all work well. The key to prolonging the cocktail's icy texture is to make sure every element is chilled: Pop whatever liquors you plan to pour over top into the fridge when you put the slush in the freezer. This simple, plan-ahead move will keep your final drink from melting too fast.
