If you are planning a party and are searching for a fun drink to serve over the holiday season, this Bourbon Slush recipe is a crowd pleaser. It can be make in advance and frozen until you need it. Use a punch bowl to serve.

Do you have any plans to entertain family or friends or need a little something in the way of refreshment after a day of Christmas shopping at the mall?  If so, I thought I would share my favorite festive holiday drink with you as the Countdown to Christmas continues.

Frozen Holiday Cocktail Drinks

My friend, Karen serves this  at her annual Christmas cookie exchange party every year.  Since then it has become one of my favorite drinks.  I call it a drink, but it is more like a dessert in a glass that you enjoy eating with a spoon rather than drinking.

It can be served using a punch bowl or simply spooned into glasses. I usually use wine glasses with jingle bells tied onto the stem of the glass.

To serve it this year, I saw these colorful Marta Double Old-Fashioned glasses from CB2 when I was in NYC.   I loved the colors and price tag. They are wide enough to use a spoon and a straw and look festive when grouped together on a serving tray.

Bourbon Slush

This is a festive drink that has a Slurpee like texture. The combination of the tart citrus and bourbon creates a refreshing cocktail. When you place the mix in a big punch bowl and serving scoop adds a fun element to your festivities.

Once you make a batch, you can spoon out as much as you need to serve for one occasion then store the rest in the freezer for another time.

For an extra yummy treat, it becomes dessert when spooned over ice cream…a bourbon Creamsicle.
