Expert Tips

Serve in colorful plastic beverage glasses. Attach large dots or stripe stickers (available at office supply stores) to the glasses, and let guests write their names on the stickers to identify their glasses.

For fun, rub the cut side of a lime or lemon on the rims of the glasses, then dip rims into shallow dish of coarse red sugar. Garnish with fresh cranberries on a beverage pick. If desired, thread sew-on gems, jewels or elegant beads (available at craft stores) onto thin silver wire, and wrap around stem of each glass.

I used this recipe with a twist. I do not like tequila, so substituted Grey Goose for the alcohol, and couldn't find any frozen cranberry concentrate, so I used fruit punch. I did add cranberry juice to the mixture along with pineapple juice and a little orange juice while omitting the lime juice. They turned out great, lots of fruity flavor, little alcohol taste, but this is the kind of drink that will sneak up on you after you've had a few.

I didn't have 24 hours available to get them to freeze in time so I put it in 5 plastic containers in the freezer. They all froze solid, so I think that was a mistake. Had to create the slush by a fast thaw which was a hassle. Subtle cranberry flavor. The lime was a predominant flavor & made me think of a regular margarita. Would be good for a hot summer afternoon. Made these for New Year's Eve, but we also made Mojito's which were the real hit of the party.

This sounds wonderful. My question to anyone who knows is how long does this remain slushy. Can you make a batch and keep it in the freezer for week?
