Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Slush was advertised as a cool refreshing summer drink but I found it perfect for holiday entertaining. At first when it was served recently at a party I was thinking a cranberry drink. Remember those slurppy, sweet slushy drinks popular in the 70's and 80's. This recipe is great to have on hand for unexpected company. It has a wonderful flavor.
This is a Betty Crocker recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 bag (16 oz) frozen rhubarb or 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen sweetened strawberries slightly thawed
- 1-1/2 cup vodka
- 1- 12 oz can lemon lime carbonated beverage
- 1 bottle Diet Sprite or Diet 7-UP
- sliced strawberries
- Heat rhubarb and sugar to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook 8-10 minutes stirring occasionally until rhubarb is tender. Stir in strawberries.
- Pour half of the mixture into blender and blend till smooth.
- Pour into a large nonmetal container. Blend rest of the mixture and add to container.
- Stir in vodka and 12- oz. can of carbonated beverage into large container.
- Cover and freeze at least 8 hours until frozen and slushy
Garnish with strawberries
Makes about 16 servings-depends on type of glass used
