Peachy Slushy Drink

A TOAST TO SUMMER'S END

A Slushy Peachy Drink 

It's a  great refreshing summertime drink to have on hand. It keeps well in the freezer in a covered plastic container. The recipe needs to be made two days in advance before serving to freeze the alcohol. I added the peach puree to enhance the flavor.  

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups water
• 12 oz. can of frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 12 oz can. frozen lemonade concentrate. thawed
• 3 cups water
• 2-1/2 cups peach-flavored schnapps
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 3  sliced peaches, pureed in a blender
• Diet 7-Up

DIRECTIONS:

• In a medium saucepan boil sugar and 2 cups of water for 3 minutes.   
• In a large plastic container combine boiled sugar mixture, 2 concentrates, 3 cups of water, peach schnapps and lemon juice. Stir in peach puree and blend well. Cover and freeze. Before serving let container stand at room, temperature 15 minutes.   
• To serve scoop out slushy mixture into a glass and fill glass with some Diet 7-UP.

It was a drink that went well with Cornbread Ham and Cheese Appetizers for a neighborhood gathering. The recipe was previously posted.
