Tom's Trials

OOH! THAT'S A STIFFY!

Well it's Labor Day weekend and living in Toledo there ain't much to do. Should we go downtown and watch the parade? Nah! How about the Fulton County Fair? Nope! Go see a movie? Are you kidding? We've got enough movies at home to watch! Well that leaves only one thing left to do...

GET DRUNK!


Here's a little concoction called "Whiskey Slushes". Even though I'm not much of a whiskey drinker like my son Kevin, these were fairly tasty and had some kick as well.

Here is the ingredients list:

2 small cans of frozen Orange Juice
2 small cans of frozen Lemonade
1.5 cups of sugar
4 tea bags (Lipton)
1.5 cups of water
2 cups of whiskey (Black Velvet)
7 cups of water

To start bring the 1.5 cups of water to a boil and insert the tea bags until dark brown. At the same time bring the 7 cups of water to a boil. In the pan that holds the 7 cups of boiling water add the rest of the ingredients including the 1.5 cups of tea and the 2 cups of whiskey. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.

Pour the above mixture into a 1 gallon plastic pitcher with lid. Stick in the freezer overnight and consume heartily the next day. If the drink is a little strong, you can fill your glass 3/4 full and then add a little 7-up or Sprite to take the edge off.

If you live in Toledo this is the best way to spend the Holiday weekend!

See ya!
