In the realm of delightful cocktails, the Whiskey Blush stands out as an elegant and refreshing symphony of flavors. This captivating libation, with its alluring pink hue, is a harmonious blend of Irish whiskey, lemon juice, and grenadine, harmoniously balanced by the subtle sweetness of simple syrup and the aromatic essence of orange bitters. Its refreshing taste and vibrant color make it a perfect aperitif or an ideal accompaniment to a leisurely brunch.

Steps:
- Thaw orange juice and lemonade concentrates. It's okay if they aren't thawed completely.
- Boil two cups of water and steep with 4 tea bags for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in sugar until dissolved.
- Pour tea mixture into a large pitcher and stir in remaining 7 cups water, orange juice concentrate, lemonade concentrate, and whiskey. Stir until concentrates are dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into a container (I like to use a gallon size ice cream bucket) and freeze for 24-48 hours. The alcohol in the drink will prevent it from freezing completely.
- To serve: fill a glass 1/2 to 3/4 of the way with slush then top off with 7UP of Sprite. Stir and serve.

WHISKEY SLUSH
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.

Tips:
- Choose a good quality whiskey. A smooth, flavorful whiskey will make a better Blush than a harsh, young one.
