    Bourbon Lemonade Slush in mason jars

    Sweet and sour bourbon lemonade slush is a refreshingly frozen cocktail that is perfect for making in batches and serving to a crowd (just like one of my most recent favorite cocktails, this paper plane recipe).

    Nothing to see here. Just us, drinking sweet and sour spiked frozen bourbon lemonades on the eve of Labor Day weekend. When a long weekend starts off with a frozen cocktail, you can tell it's gonna be a good one.

    It should come as no surprise that I come from a family of recipe collectors. We host potlucks for the chance to show off our latest finds. We talk about cooking shows and barbecue sauces, gardening and canning, cocktails and pizza toppings. At family gatherings recipes are traded like baseball cards. There are no secret family recipes around here; only recipes that we think are so good they should be shared with the world.

    I guess writing a food blog feels like a natural extension of that. Food is better when shared.

    And frozen cocktails? Those are definitely better when shared.

    My extended family is in a season of recipe nostalgia these days. Even more than usual, we've been talking about our favorites and digging through the archives. I have collections of recipes from my family on both sides. Some have been passed on by email or copied over the years. Others are in recipe boxes. You can always tell the favorites by the number of spills on the cards.

    Family Recipes

    This Bourbon Lemonade Slush is one of those recipe discoveries that just screams summer. My Uncle (hi, Uncle Doug!) sent it to me early in the summer saying that he found it in my grandpa's handwriting dated August 1983. The drink is tart, sweet and boozy and exceptionally refreshing. The glasses get nice and frosty and drinking one is reminiscent of late summer afternoons as a kid, drinking Slurpees with a straw.

    Except with bourbon. Making these grown-up version of that sort of fun.

      Good afternoon. I'm making your "Best Chocolate Cake Ever" and was wondering where you got the Dark Blue Speckled Bundt Pan

        I borrowed it from my mom, Linda, but she says it came from Williams Sonoma a few years ago.
