* Serving size: 1/2 cup

* NOTE: Make sure to steer clear of above-80-proof bourbon; it won't freeze solid enough to become slushy

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• Dash of salt
• 4 cups fresh cranberries (about 1 pound)
• 1 1/3 cups 80-proof bourbon
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, and salt in a microwave-safe dish; microwave at HIGH for 3 minutes. Stir until sugar dissolves. Combine sugar syrup and cranberries in a blender; process until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth over a bowl; press mixture to extract liquid. Discard solids.

2. Combine cranberry mixture, bourbon, and lemon juice in a freezer-safe bowl, stirring well. Freeze mixture overnight or until partially frozen. Scrape mixture with a fork until slushy; serve immediately.
