Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 cups whiskey
  • 12 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 cup maraschino cherry juice
  • 10–12 dashes bitters
  • 1 bottle lemon-lime soda, chilled (for serving)
  • Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
  • Orange wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves completely, then let cool.
  2. Stir in whiskey, thawed orange juice concentrate, cherry juice, and bitters until fully combined.
  3. Pour mixture into a large freezer-safe container.
  4. Freeze for 10–12 hours or until slushy and firm.
  5. Scoop slush into glasses (about 3/4 cup per serving).
  6. Top with chilled lemon-lime soda and stir gently.
  7. Garnish with maraschino cherries and orange wedges before serving.

Notes

  • Freeze overnight for best slushy texture.
  • Let sit at room temperature 10–15 minutes if too firm to scoop.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less soda when serving.
  • Stir well before serving if mixture separates slightly.
  • Use a large freezer container to allow even freezing.
