Lime Slush

Stacie thought it would be a good idea to add Lime Slush to the list of great drink recipes.  She made it for a baby shower once and someone asked, "Are you sure there isn't alcohol in this?  Because it is so good!"  (Was that her non-LDS neighbors asking?)

This is another simple and inexpensive recipe that is so popular.

Lime Slush

1 (12 oz.) can frozen limeade
11 cups water
3 cups sugar
1 (2 litre) bottle Sprite or 7-Up

Combine limeade with water and sugar; stir until sugar dissolves.  Place in a covered container in the freezer for at least 24 hours.  One to two hours before serving, remove from the freezer and let thaw slightly.  Before serving, mash up and put in a punch bowl.  Pour Sprite over and stir.  Makes 1 1/2 gallons and serves about 20.

I usually slice through the frozen slush with a large knife cross ways to break it up.
