This drink is one my mother used to make for parties, summer family-style weddings, showers, etc.   The adults always enjoyed it (and so did we kids ;) ).

This is absolutely wonderful on a hot summer day.  Enjoy!

Orange & Lemonade Vodka Slush

4 Cups Sugar

6 Cups Water
750ml Vodka
2 12 ounce containers of Frozen Orange Juice

1 12 ounce containers of Frozen Lemonade
7-Up, Sprite, or Gingerale

Make a simple syrup:  Add the sugar and water to a sauce pan, and bring to a boil.  Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes.  Remove from heat, and cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the orange juice and lemonade concentrate.  Add in the vodka, and stir well to mix.  Add the simple syrup.

Put in a large container, and put into the freezer.  Allow to freeze at least 24 hours.

To serve this, use 1/3 Vodka Slush to 2/3 7-up, Sprite or Gingerale. Garnish with a slice of fresh sliced oranges or lemons.
