MIXOLOGY // Bourbon Slushies

Labor Day has come and gone and September is in full swing.  While we may be downing pumpkin spice lattes like it's our job, we're still doing our best to savor these last days of summer. Today is a sweltering one here in Chicago (hello, 90 degrees! Where were you all summer?). We're thinking about starting the weekend a little early, kicking back, and cooling off by sipping on a few bourbon slushies. The combination of citrus and black tea has a super refreshing summer-y flavor and the bourbon...well, we just love bourbon!

Bourbon Slushies
1 cup honey
1 cup raw sugar
1 can of frozen lemonade
1 can of frozen orange juice
