One of our most requested recipes from Keep the Table Laughing is the Vodka Slush.

Since I am about to officially start Slush Week 2009, I thought I’d give all our readers an early Christmas gift, and share the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups water
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 cups orange juice
• 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
• 1 1/2 cups apricot nectar
• 1 1/2 cups vodka (or just hold the bottle upside down and watch it go glug glug glug, say “whoops!” then keep pouring)

Method:

• Boil sugar and water for 2 minutes. Allow to cool.
• Combine sugar/water mix with remaining ingredients.
• Freeze.

Stirring the mix occasionally helps it maintain a slushy consistency.

To serve:

• Scoop 1-2 ice cream scoops of mix into a tumbler and top with dry ginger ale.
• Stick feet in a paddling pool, grab a good summer read and enjoy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
