EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Float a few cranberry-filled ice cubes in each glass of this fruity slush. To make cubes, place a couple of cranberries in each compartment of an ice-cube tray. Fill with a mixture of equal parts cranberry juice cocktail and water. Once frozen, use these "cranberry cubes" to freshen up this slush or other fruit-flavored drinks.

The slush freezes most quickly in 1-pint containers and can be used directly from the freezer. You can freeze it in one large container for punch, but it will take 1 or 2 days to freeze until slushy.

I've been making this at Christmas for the last 15 years and it is legendary! Around Thanksgiving, family members start asking if i'm going to make slush this Christmas... we're not big drinkers, so i usually make one batch with the brandy and one without. You can also use cranberry vodka is you don't like the taste of the brandy. It's very refreshing and not super heavy like some other drinks. This year, i found light cranberry juice and i mix with diet soda to cut back on the calories/carbs.
