Our neighbor, Larry, came to Thanksgiving supper. He brought the evenings libations. He provided a long standing family recipe for apricot brandy slush. Some thirty years ago he was given the recipe by a cousin. He doesn’t know anything about its history before then. Warm hearts aglow from the apricot brandy slush, celebrating good friends and good food, a good time was had by all that Thanksgiving night.

• 9 cups water
• 1 12-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1 750-ml bottle of apricot brandy

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 12-ounce can lemonaide concentrate
• 1 2-liter bottle of Seven-Up®

1. Boil 9 cups of water, add 1 ˝ cups of sugar, stir to dissolve, let cool.
2. Add 12-ounce cans of orange juice concentrate and lemonade concentrate. Stir until concentrate is dissolved. Add all of the 750-ml bottle of apricot brandy. Stir to mix well.
3. Place in a Tupperware® bowl with a lid and place in the freezer. It should turn to a slush in about 24 hours.
4. To make drink: With a large spoon, shave the slush. Fill your drink glass three-fourths full of the slush, fill the rest of the way with Seven-Up®. Cheers!
