Frozen Christmas Drink (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
5 cups of cranberry juice.
02 -
4 cups of water.
03 -
3 cups of orange juice.
04 -
1 1/2 cups (300g) white sugar.
05 -
4 liters of cherry-flavored lemon-lime soda, like Cherry 7-Up™.
06 -
2 cans (12 oz each) of frozen lemonade concentrate.
07 -
Orange slices for decorating.
08 -
Fresh cranberries for topping.
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine sugar and water in a big pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, and stir now and then until you can’t see any sugar grains. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
02 -
Take the pot off the heat. Pour in cranberry juice, orange juice, and the lemonade concentrate. Stir until the concentrate has melted down. You’ll end up with roughly 4 quarts of liquid.
03 -
Let the juice mix cool completely. Next, pour it into a freezer-safe container with a sealable lid. Freeze overnight.
04 -
Use a fork to scrape and break the frozen mix into slush. Fill a lowball glass with about 1 cup of the slush mixture. Top it off with the cherry soda. Decorate with fresh cranberries and orange slices before handing it over.
# Notes:
01 -
Yields around 4 quarts of base slush.
02 -
Needs at least a night in the freezer.

You can make it a few days in advance.
