Newfoundland Christmas Slush. A chilly mix of pineapple and citrus juices solidified together with golden rum to make the base for a delightful, prudent Holiday mixed drink.
Newfoundland Christmas Slush may be viewed as a nearby cousin to the daiquiri, and I assume with only a sprinkle of soft drink, it may very well be a nearby guess. A great many people, when serving it however, will utilize a segment of the slushy base in a tall glass, finished up with club soft drink, soda or lemon lime soft drink.
You can without much of a stretch differ the measure of frosty slush to use in each glass to suit individual inclination and to control the liquor content by including pretty much of the blend. This makes it an exceptionally efficient approach to serve even many beverages from a solitary container of rum… and obviously summer is coming… in the end! This formula is similarly as great or shockingly better in the more sultry days of the year for summer engaging.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups simple syrup (1 1/2 cup sugar + 1 1/2 cups water)
- 6 cups fresh golden pineapple cubes (diced small, about 1 large pineapple)
- 1 bottle amber rum (750ml/26oz)
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
- 3/4 cup lime juice
- 3 cups premium quality orange juice
Instructions
- First you will need to make the simple syrup so that it can cool down. Simply add the 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a small saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until all the sugar is dissolved. The syrup does not have to come to a boil. As soon as no sugar crystals are visible in the bottom of the pan, take it off the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- You will need an airtight covered plastic container to make the slush in, and to store it in the freezer. Airtight is important because this slush can stay in the freezer for quite a long time if need be, and you don't want it absorbing freezer odours. Large tupperware bowls with snap on lids work well. Here in Newfoundland, if we are making large batches, we use food grade plastic buckets that salt beef is sold in. Don't assume a salt beef bucket in a Newfoundland freezer has salt beef!
- In any case, this recipe makes about 4 litres/quarts of slush so a 5 litre/quart container will be required.
- Dice the pineapple into small cubes. Measure 6 cups of these cubes.
- Purée the pineapple in a food processor or blender.
- Add the pineapple purée to the plastic container along with the cooled simple syrup and the remaining ingredients.
- Give it a good stir to combine, put the lid on and put the container in the freezer for about 6 hours.
- After six hours, ice sheets should be beginning to form in the slush. You want to break these down into smaller crystals. An immersion blender is idea for this, but if you don't have one, a few minutes of vigorous stirring with a whisk should do the trick.
- Return to the freezer and after a few more hours, give it another stir. The slush then stays covered in the freezer until ready to serve.
- When serving, depending on the size of drink you want to serve, fill the glass from 1/3 to 2/3 full of slush and top up with club soda, ginger ale or lemon lime soda. Stir well and serve
- Another serving suggestion is to serve the slush in martini glasses mixed with a splash of Prosecco and a garnish of pineapple and a maraschino cherry.
