If you'll be watching the Kentucky Derby from home, tomorrow, we suggest running out to the store, today, and purchasing the ingredients for our resident Kentuckian's favorite warm weather beverage of choice, The Bourbon Slush Punch.
Bourbon Slush Punch
2 sm. cans frozen orange juice
2 sm. cans frozen lemonade
4 tea bags
2 cups water
1 & 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups bourbon
7 cups boiling water
7-Up (to top off)
Prepare punch ahead of time. Mix all ingredients together, except for 7-Up. (Makes 1 gallon) Pour punch into sturdy, plastic containers and freeze. Remove each container from the freezer 30 minutes before serving. Break into chunks and fill glasses almost to the top, then add 7-Up. Stir until slushy.
The Bourbon Slush Punch is a bit off tradition since many people tend to sip on Mint Juleps at the derby, so we also suggest donning the beautiful hair clip or fascinator you wore in honor of the recent royal wedding at your party, too. (And you thought you'd only wear it once.) The hair clip pictured, below, is from BHLDN.
