My Grandma makes this great drink called a bourbon slush, which is basically orange juice concentrate plus bourbon.

The younger generations are gonna miss out on so much

Oh man, I don't think I've ran into anyone else that knew what bourbon slush is. I had a friend growing up and it was a staple of their big family gatherings. I actually had no idea how they made it until now, but I would always get a couple of tubs to take home with me. Highlight of the year during my college years.

Ha! noice. I would always eat it with a spoon

It's also popular here in Wisconsin, but our version typically uses brandy. I made a bunch for my wedding. I hate to think that would be the last time!

Make with the recipe already!

So one can of stuff = two drinks?

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

that's like 12 ounces of bourbon...

Also, you don't really drink it... You definitely eat it with a spoon.

Also also, I definitely don't have a recipe for it... I literally just learned from the commenter above me that it was OJ concentrate and booze... lol

Plus that satisfying experience of the concentrate slowly falling out of the container will never be experienced again.
