Ingredients
Liquid Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 12 ounce frozen orange juice concentrate
- 2 cups bourbon
- 4 cups black tea, prepared and unsweetened
Dry Ingredients
- Low or no sugar powdered lemonade mix (enough to make 2 quarts)
- 3/4 cup sugar or sweetener
Garnish (Optional)
- Sliced orange
- Maraschino cherry
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or container, thoroughly mix the powdered lemonade mix (enough for 2 quarts) with 2 cups of water, the frozen orange juice concentrate, 2 cups bourbon, 4 cups unsweetened black tea, and 3/4 cup sugar or sweetener until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container or tray and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze until solid, typically for several hours or overnight, to achieve a slushy consistency.
- Serve: When ready to serve, scoop about a scant cup of the frozen mixture into a rocks glass. Stir gently to break up the ice a bit and mix the flavors.
- Garnish: Add optional garnishes like a slice of orange or a maraschino cherry for a festive touch before serving.
Notes
- For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute to your preference.
- Make sure to use unsweetened black tea to control sweetness levels in the cocktail.
- Allow adequate freezing time to ensure the slush achieves the ideal consistency.
- Garnishes enhance the presentation but can be omitted if preferred.
