Bourbon-Barrel Old Fashioned Slush: a slushie recipe for Ninja SLUSHi FS301 (64oz mix). 7 ingredients, 7 servings.

Serves 7 · Sized for Ninja SLUSHi FS301 (64oz mix)

Ingredients

• 8 oz bourbon whiskey
• 2 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 oz pure maple syrup
• 0.5 oz Angostura bitters
• 16 oz cold brewed black tea (or strong chilled coffee)
• 28 oz water
• 1 oz demerara simple syrup (optional, for rim sweetness)

Method

1. Brew strong black tea and chill for at least 1 hour (or use cold brew). Alternatively, substitute with 16 oz chilled strong coffee for deeper notes.
2. In a separate container, combine bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters — stir until syrup fully dissolves.
3. Pour the bourbon mixture into the Ninja Slushi pitcher, then add chilled tea and water. Stir gently to combine. Total should reach approximately 56 oz (well below the 64 oz max fill line).
4. Set machine to Spiked Slush mode. Press start and freeze for 45–55 minutes. Slush is ready when the auger pitch deepens and texture reaches a thick, scoopable consistency.
5. Dispense into rocks glasses over one large ice cube or rocks ice. Stir gently before serving.

Garnish: Orange twist with a single cherry skewered on a pick
