I am looking for a recipe that uses bourbon, peaches and sugar. You put it in freezer until it turns to slush. Any info would be appreciated.

I have a similar recipe except quantities are a little different (I cut back on sugar for instance) and I used Rum instead of Bourbon and I add a pit of Triple-Sec.

It is always a hit at parties.

vudutu– I have a reprint of the ’75. Your drink sounds good too! I love fizzy fruit beverages.

Jackie– oh, wow. Pimm’s cup sounds fantastic. I’m a big fan of lemon-based drinks (I love gin and tonic)… this sounds perfect. I wonder if I’m doing anything on Sunday, that sounds like a Sunday drink to me.

A quote from spittoon.biz

“Created by James Pimm in his 1820`s Oyster Bar. Pimm began to market it ready-mixed in 1859, such was its popularity. It was taken as a digestive tonic, due to the high level of quinine and the mash of herbs involved in its production. Fashionable society began to drink Pimm`s as a cocktail during the later part of the 19th century, partially for the alcoholic lift and partially because it was weak enough to be drunk all afternoon.”

If you can’t find it try 1 x shot Gin + 1 x shot Red Vermouth + 1/2 x shot of Curaco, Cuantro or Triple Sec). Add mint cuke orange strawberry, what ever you like really, let the flavors mingle while it chills. Add lemonade, ginger ale or soda water to taste.

Julie, have you had Pimms and lemonade (called, I believe, Pimms Cups in the US)? I just cannot imagine a more perfect summer drink. If you can get your hands on a bottle of Pimms, combine it with Sprite and chuck in lots of fresh, sliced cucumber, orange, lemon, strawberries and torn mint. This is truly the only drink I have missed since I went teetotal. It’s just flawless.

Humm, have to think about the recipe I forgot. Julie which edition of the Joy do you have? 75 is the classic, the 97 was butchered by Maria Guarnaschelli. I can’t do refined sugar so my summer refresher, non-alcholic, is Trader Joes Blackberry Crush juice, I mix it 1 to 1 with a good soda water and add a little lime, that’s my pop. Salty Dogs are popular at ou place, by the way Terry at Terry’s turf club does a killer one, he keeps the vodka in the freezer and fresh squeezes the grapefruit. Toddy O why are they called watermelons if they have orange juice in them?

Rita–I love Mudslides. Talk about re-discovering favorites…I haven’t had a mudslide in ages. Do you make your own? Or go out? Where?

Michelle– I’m sure that the peach tea could only make it tastier.
