Provided by Damaris Phillips

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings per batch (32 servings total)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups honey
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup water
48 ounces Bourbon (adjust to taste)
4 bunches mint leaves, plus more sprigs for garnish
Ice
Lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the honey, lemon juice and water and stir to dissolve. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat. Set aside to cool slightly (or put it into a shallow pan), then cool completely in the freezer, 30 minutes to 1 hour (but you can leave it longer because it's ok if it freezes).
When the syrup is cold, add 1 cup to a blender with 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) Bourbon and 1 bunch mint. Add 2 to 4 cups of ice, depending on how strong and thick you want the slushies. Blend until the mixture is thick and frozen like a smoothie.
Divide among 8 small glasses (or 4 tall) and garnish with lemon slices and a sprig of mint. Repeat the process in 3 more batches with remaining ingredients.
