Emeril’s Red Rooster
November 21, 2011
Emeril mades this slushy cocktail (original here) during one of the Food Network Thanksgiving shows I watched a few years ago. It was a bit complicated to arrange a place to freeze it, but we were glad that we figured it out. Everyone enjoyed it.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 quarts cranberry juice cocktail
- 1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, defrosted
- 2 cups vodka
Directions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large plastic container.
- Freeze for several hours. It will not freeze solid, but rather achieve the consistency of a slushy.
- Scoop into punch cups or wine glasses and serve.
Variations
- We had freezer storage issues the last time we tried this, so a large plastic container was never going to fit. Instead we poured single-serving portions in ziploc freezer bags and shoved them into all the nooks and crannies in the freezer. They got slushy quicker, since they were smaller amounts, and serving was a breeze since all we had to do was slide the slushy out of the bag and into a glass.
