BOOZY CHERRY COLA SLUSHIES

Steps:

• Place the cola, juice, vodka and 6 cups ice in a blender and blend until frosty. (I use a wooden spoon to move the ice around a bit so it blends evenly.)

Steps:

• Reserve 4 of the cherries for garnish, then add the remaining cherries with their liquid, ice, soda, limeade concentrate and lime juice to a blender and blend until the ice is crushed. Serve in glasses with cherries and lime wedges for garnish.

SPARKLING CHERRY LIME SODA

Steps:

• Add the sugar, water and 1/4 cup of the lime juice to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Add a few ice cubes to two chilled highball glasses. To each glass, add 2 ounces of the lime simple syrup and 1 tablespoon of the remaining lime juice. Divide the grenadine between the glasses and top off with club soda.
• Garnish with a lime wheel and 1 or 2 maraschino cherries.

• In blender or food processor container, combine cherries, orange juice concentrate and lemon juice. Blend 1 minute, or until cherries are pureed. In a 6-cup freezer container, combine cherry mixture and sugar mixture; mix well. Cover tightly; freeze 5 hours or overnight.
• Remove cherry mixture from freezer 30 minutes before serving. Put 1/4 cup slush in each glass; add 1/2 cup carbonated beverage to each glass. Serve immediately. Freeze remaining slush for later use.
