A Summer favorite

Summer just isn't summer without my mom's slush!
I try to have a bucket on hand at all times!! :)
It's perfect for EVERY summer event but I especially love it as an afternoon mommy treat or that BBQ you need to bring something for or even an end-of-the-year teacher gift! :) (Yes, that's how we thanked our teachers this year!)

Brandy Slush
2 c sugar
4 c boiling water
5 c cold water
1 small can of limeade
1 large can of pink lemonade
2 c unflavored bottom-shelf brandy

Mix all in a BIG bucket and freeze overnight.
Fill each glass with 3/4 slush and 1/4 Sprite.
Enjoy! :)

Do you have a favorite summer recipe?

YUMMMMMMMMY! I'm going to make a bucket to have on hand... you know, just in case someone really wants a little something (like every afternoon at 4pm) :)

Your recipe is now fondly referred to as "Rachel's Slush" in my neighborhood! Thanks for sharing.
