Pineapple Slush Drink

This delicious drink was served at my wedding reception and, I think, the other hot mamas' too. It is super easy, but oh-so-good!! My hubby made this for a Valentine's Day dinner for me last month and I have requested it again since! Enjoy!

1 can pineapple juice (I would guess it is about 64 oz. It is in the juice aisle, not frozen!, at the store.)
1 2-liter of lemon lime soda (ie 7-up or Sprite)

Freeze the can of juice until it is a solid/slush. Empty into a pitcher or punch bowl. Add lemon-lime soda. Stir until slush is broken up and serve! Mmmmm!!!

Kendall's Brazilian Lemonade


4- juicy limes (try and find the ones with thin, smoth skins; they are the juiciest and the thin skin cuts down the chance of your drink being bitter.

1-cup sugar

6 cups cold water

6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk


Mix cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use. This step can be done ahead of time. Wash limes thoroughly with soap. Cut of the very ends of the limes and cut lime into 8ths...REMEMBER skin seeds and all ! Place 1/2 of the limes in the blender. Add 1/2 of the sugar water into the blender. Pulse 5 times. Place a fine wire mesh strainer over drinking pitcher. Pour mixture from blender through stainer into pitcher (you only want the liquid in the pitcher). Use a spoon to press the lime pulp to get all the juice out that you can. Discard lime contents in the strainer. Repeat with other 1/2 of limes, and sugar water. Add sweetened condensed milk. (DON'T forget the sweetened condensed milk, or it will taste very bitter). Mix well and enjoy !!


I served a mission for my church to Brazil. I had this there quite a few times and loved it. When I got back home I found a place called Tucano's that serves this. I think this recipe is just as good...if not better than their lemonade !!
