Drink/Punch (alcoholic) Slut Slush

Slut slush
Goes down smooth, packs a suprising punch!
It's tradition for my family to have this (all year round) particularly at the holidays
...but makes a nice cool sipping drink for summer too.

in large freezable bowl
pour 1 cup boiling water
add 2 teabags and seep for while- you want it to be strong
( I usually add more teabags..like 4-6)
add 1 cup sugar and stir until dissolved
then add 6 oz frozen lemonade and
6oz frozen Orange Juice - mix well
pour in 3-1/2 cups cold water
add 1 cup whiskey-

Procedure
stir mixture up,cover and put in freezer
stir every 2 hours

to serve :
add 2 tbps slush in glass fill with 7up or sprite
soda must be cold

becareful!!! it sneaks up on you and hits hard

This recipe can be doubled !! It keeps well in the freezer and is ready to go at any time!

Drink/Punch (alcoholic) Sangria Slush

Another party hit- but I don't know what it's called.lol

A bottle of Sangria,
ICE
a blender
A pitcher is good too....to put it in as you make it


Procedure
Equal parts ice and Sangria- blend into a slushy.
keep pitcher in freezer and serve as needed

serving suggestion;
throw a wedge of fruit on the glass
Serving Information
Serves: 15

Drink/Punch (Alcholic) Malibu Punch

a great/easy punch- was at a 'girls only' party few weeks ago. this drink was hit!!
I don't know what it's called,


1 bottle of Mango Malibu
1 (2litre) bottle Sprite
1 Bottle Cranberry juice



Procedure
mix together in punch bowl with ice
(best to do half of each bottle, and then refill with other half as needed unless it ALL fits in your punch bowl ?!?)
oh I garnished with some fresh fruit slices- oranges, lemon and lime slices...and star fruit looks nice.

Drink (alcoholic) Roll me over [Bennigan's]

Roll Me Over And Do Me Again by Chris at Bennigans/Charlotte.

(Cocktail)
1/4 part Light Rum
1/4 part Dark Rum
1/4 part Midori
1/4 part MalibuSplash Creme de Bananes

Procedure
Fill with equal parts OJ And Pineapple, add touch of Grenadine for color and shake.
Serving Information

Drink (alcoholic) Raspberry Slush

MR. P'S OLALLIEBERRY RASPBERRY SLUSH

1/4 c. tequila2 tbsp.triple sec
1/4 c. Margarita mix
2 c. olallieberries* or blackberries
1 1/2 c. crushed ice
1 c. raspberry sorbet or ice

Procedure
Combine tequila, triple sec, margarita mix and berries in blender container. Process until smooth. Add crushed ice and blend. Add raspberry sorbet and blend until slushy. Turn into chilled glasses. Makes about 4 servings.

*Physically the Olallieberry looks like a classic blackberry. Genetically, however, the Olallieberry is approximately two-thirds blackberry and one-third European Red Raspberry. Eaten fresh, Olallieberries are excellent, however most are made into preserves and wine.

Drink (alcoholic) - The Green Hornet

The Green Hornet

1 part blue curacao
1 part captain morgans spiced rum
pineapple juice

Procedure
In a shaker add ice, pineapple juice, blue curacao, and rum. Shake like crazy. Pour into a cocktail glass.
I like to garnish with a slice of pineapple. You could also blend all of the ingredients in a blender for a nice summer slushy.

Drink with CAUTION!!! When this drink is made right you can't taste the alcohol. The blue curacao and pineapple juice makes it green and the rum will sting ya.
Enjoy!

Drink (alcoholic) - Tequila Mockingbird

Ingredients
Tequila Mockingbird

2 oz. Tequila
3/4 oz. Grenadine
4 oz. Orange juice
1 oz. Blackberry brandy

Procedure
Mix together, stir in some ice..
Not only is the name clever, but it is really quite tasty!

Drink (alcoholic) - Southern Slam

Southern Slam (Long Drink )
1 shot Southern Comfort
2 parts OJ
1 part cranberry juice

Procedure
(should be similar in color to a Tequila Sunrise - also, Tropicana Orange-Cranberry can be used as a substitute for the OJ and cranberry juice.)
Watch out, though ... these are great in the summer and VERY refreshing ... but they'll SLAM right into you after a while!

Cake/Ethnic/Bermuda Bacardi Rum Cake

Bermuda Bacardi Rum Cake
YIELDS:1 Serving
INGREDIENTS:
-------------------------------CAKE------------------------------------
1 c Chopped pecans or walnuts
1 Box yellow cake mix (18 1/2 -oz)
1 pk Vanilla instant pudding & -pie filling (3 3/4 oz)
4 Eggs
1/2 c Cold water
1/2 c Cooking oil
1/2 c Dark rum (80 proof)
--------------------------------GLAZE-----------------------------------
1/4 lb Butter (or marg)
1 c Sugar
1/4 c Water
1/2 c Dark rum

DIRECTIONS:
Source: Goslings', Bacardi Int'l Recipe Card
Cake: Preheat oven to 325F. Grease and flour 10" tube or 12 cup bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan using a spoon to gently push them up the sides of the pan a little. Mix all cake ingredients. Pour batter over nuts.

Bake 1 hour (check at 45-50mins). Cool.
Invert on serving place. Prick the top with a skewer or fork. Spoon & brush glaze evenly over top & sides.

Glaze: Melt butter. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes while stirring constantly. Remove from heat & stir in rum. Glaze application: You want the glaze to be soaked as far into the cake as possible. You have to be patient. I have two methods I find work. First i push a fork in about 1 1/2 inches and gently pry open the hole - then i dribble glaze down the fork and let the cake soak it up as i go. The second method is much more successful - i use the fork the same way but i use a childs medicine dropper (the kind with the bulb on the end) and inject the glaze right into the cake.

Notes: Kahluha can be substituted for rum. If using yellow cake mix with pudding already in it; omit instant pudding, use 3 eggs instead of 4, 1/3 c of oil instead of 1/2.

This cake is best left to sit for a day before consumption.
