Refreshing Bourbon Slush Punch Recipe

This succulent Bourbon Slush Punch is a delightful twist on traditional punch, making it the perfect refreshing beverage for gatherings.

If you’re entertaining a larger crowd, feel free to double the quantities for a bigger batch. This punch is not just tasty but also has a fun slushy texture that will keep your guests returning for more!

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 tea bags (choose your favorite for iced tea)
• 1 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cups orange juice (approximately from 3 fresh oranges)
• 6 tablespoons lemon juice (about 2 fresh lemons)
• 16 to 17 ounces (around 5 cups) of ice cubes
• Mint sprigs or lemon slices for garnishing

Cooking Directions

Start by boiling the water for your tea. Once it reaches a rolling boil, steep the two tea bags in the water until cooled. When ready, discard the tea bags and pour the brewed tea into a large pitcher. To this, add bourbon, granulated sugar, orange juice, and lemon juice. Make sure to refrigerate this mixture until you’re ready to serve it. Don’t worry about dissolving the sugar on the spot; it will melt perfectly after about 30 minutes in the fridge.

When it’s time to serve your Bourbon Slush Punch, give it a gentle shake or stir to mix everything well. For a refreshing punch of approximately two liters, blend the base ingredients with a full portion of ice cubes until you achieve a delightful slushy consistency. For individual glasses, combine 1/2 cup of the punch mixture with a heaping 1/2 cup of the small ice pieces and blend until slushy perfection. If it calls for some extra chill, feel free to toss in additional ice cubes. Finish your drinks by garnishing each glass with a mint sprig or a slice of fresh lemon, and enjoy the delightful refreshment!
