Make Orange Lemonade Slush

There's nothing more refreshing than a slushy drink on a hot summer day. Combine the refreshing taste of lemonade with the tangy taste of orange and mix them together with crushed ice.


Instructions


1. Add five large ice cubes to a blender or ice crusher. Add ? cup of orange juice and ? cup of lemonade. Reduce the amount of either juice if your blender becomes too full. You want to leave about an inch of space between the juice and the top of the blender so the drink has room to expand.


2. Change the orange juice to orange slices for a thicker drink, but do not add the ice yet. Add ? cup of lemonade. You will have to blend well to grind the pulp down. Strain the juice and then add the ice to the strained mix so you will have a smooth slush drink when you are finished.


3. Substitute the lemonade for lemon slices. Add ? cup of orange juice. Strain the juice before adding the ice and then mix well to combine.


4. Make sour, orange lemonade slush by using 1 cup of orange juice and adding 2 tbsp of pure lemon concentrate to the mix. Combine with ice and blend.


5. Blend the juice with the ice until the ice is smooth but thick. You want a slush texture not pure liquid. Crush more ice if the juice is too watery or add more orange juice if the mixture is too thick.


6. Make your slush sweeter by adding a tbsp of sugar or honey. You can also use a lemon or orange flavored soft drinks containing sugar to sweeten the slush.


7. Throw in berries, banana or pineapple if you want to mix up the taste more. Add several kinds of fruit for a fruit punch orange lemonade slush.


8. Use a slush maker to shave ice off of a block for a very thick slush drink. Scoop the slush into a bowl or cup. Pour ? cup of orange juice and ? cup of lemonade over the slush. Add more shaved ice if the orange lemonade slush seems too runny.
