Bourbon Slush (I sort of made this up):
Boil 2 cups water, set aside and steep 3 Chai tea bags for 10 minutes
Dissolve a cup of sugar in that
Pour it into a bowl
Add 2 cups bourbon (we prefer Old Gandad)
Add a can of frozen lemonade
Add a cup of orange juice (fresh, frozen, carton, whatever)
Add 4 cups water
Mix
Freeze overnight
