Rum Slush

Submitted by Sherry Reuter, Egyptian Electric Cooperative Association
Servings 16

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 quart orange juice
  • 1 6-ounce can unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 10-ounce jar maraschino cherries halved
  • 2 15-ounce cans mandarin oranges
  • 1 fifth of rum
  • 2 quarts ginger ale

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, heat water and sugar over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the sugar water with the remaining ingredients.
  • Freeze overnight. It will be frozen but not solid.

Notes

To make a nonalcoholic version, substitute the fifth of rum with 1-1/2 cups white grape juice, 1-1/2 cups coconut water and 1/2 tablespoon of rum extract. Without alcohol, this will likely freeze solid. You will need to set it out a couple hours before serving. If needed, add more liquid and blend with a hand mixer.
