Sunrise Slush

This sunrise slush recipe is perfect for summertime. Citrus & sweet. Made with a frozen orange juice, lemonade, pineapple juice slush topped with lemon-lime soda.

Summertime is right around the corner.  However, as I am writing this, it is a cold and windy Montana day in April.  Summer feels so far away, but it will be here before we know it!

This recipe is perfect for summer BBQs, get-togethers, and celebrations.  My family even makes this slush for Christmas. In fact, it became a Christmas tradition – which I find humorous considering how cold it gets in here in Montana.

Sunrise Slush

It’s delicious without alcohol, but it’s also fun to make into a cocktail on special occasions.

Tip:  leave the alcohol out of the frozen mix and add right before serving.  That way you don’t leave out the kids or people who don’t care for alcohol.

Ingredients

• 2 cans of frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1 can of frozen lemonade
• 46 fl ounce can of pineapple juice
• 4 cups of sugar (This is the original family recipe, but you can cut down this amount of sugar & it will still be delicious!)
  
• 2 liter of 7UP

If you’re making the alcoholic version:

• Whipped vodka (optional)
• Garnishes – oranges, pineapples, or cherries (optional)

Recipe Instructions & Tips

This recipe takes about 20-25 minutes to prep + freezing overnight.  Yields approximately 20-24 servings.

In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water and 4 cups of sugar to a boil.  Again, you can reduce the amount of sugar if you’d like. Remove from heat.

Add the frozen orange juice concentrate, frozen lemonade, and can of pineapple juice to the water/sugar mixture.  Mix well.

In a large container (I use an ice cream bucket), pour in the slush mixture.  Freeze overnight, stirring a few times if you can.

Now for the fun part. Put one or two scoops into a glass.

Pour lemon-lime soda to the top of the glass (or leave some room to add your favorite liquor – keeping reading!).

Optional (but so good) – add grenadine, alcohol of choice (whipped vodka is our favorite), and garnishes (oranges, pineapples, or cherries).  Enjoy!

We usually scoop individual servings, but you could use it in a punch bowl for birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, and more.

Another great option is to serve in a fun pitcher.
