Cranberry Lemonade Slush

August 01, 2014

Cranberry Lemonade Slush

We do a ton of summer entertaining. Heck, we love to entertain year-round. But entertaining in the summer is the best. Cookouts on the deck, parties up at the lake, picnics in the backyard, cocktails poolside. . .someone please make it last FOREVER. Getting together with family and friends is something I always look forward to. Whenever we actually have a weekend free, the following question ALWAYS comes up. . . “So, who should we get together with this weekend?”

When I know I’ll be entertaining a larger group. . .especially ladies, this Cranberry Lemonade Slush is always on the drink menu. It’s light, it’s refreshing, it’s beautiful, it’s delicious and honestly, you can’t even taste the brandy. There are even times I only put one cup of brandy in, instead of two if it’s an afternoon party that will go into the evening. Because who needs a bunch of crazies tearing things apart at 3:00 in the afternoon?

Cranberry Lemonade Slush Cocktail
This drink is so simple to prepare, and you do it the night before so you don’t need to worry about it the day of the party. Mix all of the ingredients (besides the lemon-lime soda) together in a big bowl, pour the mixture into a gallon-size zip lock freezer bag and stick it in the freezer overnight or until it becomes slushy. Then fill 1/2 your glass with the frozen mixture and the other half with lemon-lime soda.

Cranberry Lemonade Slush
Now, you just continue to make it beautiful. Garnish with a lemon, throw in a straw and you are golden! This is also a wonderful slush to make around the holidays – Valentine’s Day, Christmas, etc. Instead of garnishing with lemons, throw a couple of cranberries on top of the drink! It’s so versatile and can be enjoyed year-round. Think bridal showers, birthday parties. Make some slush for your next celebration and your friends will probably enjoy it so much you’ll need to make a double batch next time. Happy slush drinking!

    This sounds yummy Sara! I love cranberry juice and lemonade so this is a no brainer for me. My 5 year old grandson is sitting here with me and the blue raspberry caught his eye so it’s going on the list too! Thanks for sharing with Creative Spark again. Have a great week!
