Default Slush Drink

4 tea bags
2 cups boiling water
5 cups cold water
1 - 12oz frozen orange juice
1 - 12oz frozen lemonade
1 - 12oz frozen limeade

rum or your favourite liquor
7-Up or ginger ale

Soak tea bags in boiling water for 20 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients.
Add 2-1/2 cups of rum or your favourite liquor.
Mix in a covered container and freeze.

Scoop into glasses, filling 1/2 full.
Add 7-Up or ginger ale to remaining 1/2.

May substitute the orange juice with a peach drink or fruit punch.
Alcohol doesn't freeze hard so this makes a nice slush drink for
those hot summer days. Enjoy!

Sorry, forgot to include name of the drink I posted above (first time I
post a message..lol).

Name of drink is SLUSH DRINK.

Be careful, you tend to forget that there's actually alcohol in the drink
so make sure that you don't drink and drive!

Cranberry Punch

2 cups cranberry cocktail
2 cups orange juice
1 cup pineapple juice
2 cups ginger ale

Note: Combine first 3 ingredients and chill. Do not add ginger ale until ready to serve punch so that it doesn't go flat.

You can omit the orange juice.

Add frozen raspberries to punch as a garnish and/or make ice cubes out of cranberry cocktail and pineapple juice (red and yellow cubes) so that it doesn't water down the punch and keeps it chilled.

For the holidays, I put 2 cups cranberry cocktail and 2 cups orange juice into a bundt cake pan and froze it solid to make like a big ice cube. When frozen solid, dip pan in hot water to loosen then put big cube into punch bowl. It keeps the punch chilled for quite a while.

My sister-in-law LOVES this punch (without the orange juice) at Christmas time where she adds WINE to her glass of punch! Makes it kinda like a wine spritzer I guess.

I served this punch (with the orange juice) for the kids at Christmas time, instead of pop. Was funny how my 12 year old daughter kept asking me if I was sure there was no alcohol in this punch. The ginger ale adds a little fizz. Makes a great non-alcoholic drink!
