BRANDY SLUSH! Make this Wisconsin holiday drink

[@AndersErickson]

Leave it to Wisconsin to make a frozen casserole you can drink

[@mqhenning]

Cold Dish.

[@markfeldman4802]

Living in SE WI. I'll be bringing brandy slush to xmas

[@valentinebrunett8700]

​@mqhenning i came here to say this. 😂

[@s.leeyork3848]

My mother used to make this only with bourbon - b/c we were in Kentucky - and she would serve it in a punch bowl pouring over the frozen slush extra bourbon and Sprite. This was served on minor holidays; i.e.: Memorial Day, Labor Day, Rose Bowl Parade, Friday, Super Bowl, etc.. Mom would also freeze the base in ice cube trays for emergency celebrations (the boss came for dinner, community pool opening, emergency divorce, out-of-town surprise company). I'm kinda glad Mom didn't know about the cranberry & lime version b/c there might not have been room in the freezer for the emergency beef roast. Thanks!

[@collin4867]

I’m surprised she used Sprite and not Ale 8

[@loonypeat312]

“Have a couple; two, tree of them!” Your Wisconsin accent came through there, Anders!! Love me some good “Wisconsin Sangrias” ❤ Merry Christmas Anders and Az!

[@AndersErickson]

Merry Christmas!

[@jacob7855]

As a born Wisconsonite and a now a Minnesota transplant... this video speaks to my soul. Been absolutely devouring your content over the past few months and have a really nice home bar. Thanks for sharing with us Anders, and Merry Christmas to you and Oz

[@AndersErickson]

Happy you're enjoying the content! Appreciate the comment and thanks for being here. Merry Christmas to you!

[@benhuth3442]

As a 50yr lifelong Wisconsinite I absolutely approve of this video! Brandy slushes are the best part of the holidays. This channel is fantastic!!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers and happy holidays!

[@sandracipollone7217]

This recipe gives you an excuse to buy a gallon tub of ice cream too. That was the traditional container for brandy slush in our family, anyway. My grandma would be delighted you've shared the recipe!

[@AndersErickson]

Cheers to your grandma 🍻

[@marionecks3645]

It's the tub from the sherbet punch for me.

[@RealAndySkibba]

Brandy slush is delicious. Love making it every year. Happy you made sure it was Korbel brandy. -Former Wisconsinite now in Iowa.

[@MnGirl1994]

Snuck my first taste of this most famous slush when I was 10 at a polka dancing party in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. The black tea kicked in and combined with the brandy, liquid courage coursed through my veins. I spent several hours hogging the dance floor, trying to become the polka queen of Wisconsin. No one batted an eye when I passed out under a high table. Germans know how to party.

[@valentinebrunett8700]

Germans are the best at a party 😅

[@adampaal]

This is the most WI comment ever!

[@2ndHandSoul91]

Loved the "no shame" comment about your grandpa. My grandfather used to always have a gallon of Paisano red wine in the kitchen for, umm, "all occasions". Merry Christmas 🎅

[@armandfleming2371]

I bought a bottle of Korbel yesterday to top off our wassail cups Christmas Day. I'm going to take that as a sign I should make brandy slushes for New Years Eve. Thanks, Anders!

[@AndersErickson]

Merry Christmas!

[@GentlemanofWolves]

Huge with my family, farming family, every holiday year the Brandy Slush was ALWAYS in the freezer! Thank you for this, I'm bringing this tradition back

[@AndersErickson]

Love it. Happy holidays!

[@user-sw7js4jw7v]

We’re gonna make a fortune on that frozen orange juice concentrate when we get the crop report from Beeks, Anders!

[@j.c.withers]

This is by far my favorite video you've done. Slush ASMR had me going.

[@drewbickford5774]

My co-worker was just telling me stories about making her brandy slush recipe right before we left work tonight in Sister Bay. Then I get home, and this is the first video I see! Perfect! I guess I'm gong to have to make some now. Thanks, Anders 😋

[@trevorsocia2300]

I was born in '82. I remember growing up in the 80s and early 90s seeing this at my grandma's for Christmas. Aunt, uncles, cousins, anyone of age drinking this. Jump forward a dozen or so years from then and we're into the last 2000s and it dawned on me: I remember seeing this drink but never having gotten to taste it! So of course I asked Busia (grandma in polish) if she remembers it, and of course she does. Hey, could you make that again so us grandkids who never got to try it could?! She does, and the rest is history. Man, those were good times. RIP Busia. Thank you Anders for bringing back my childhood. I'm forwarding this to all of my family so they can smile and remember how fun things were back then. Cheers, friends!

[@LuukAsh]

Babcia. Not Busia 🙂

[@reggeckmann3993]

We made peach brandy slushes all the time when I was younger. Yumm great fit 4th of July

[@jschoenack]

TO THE BAR!➡️🥃

[@redoorn]

Yes! one gallon in my freezer right now. except i used 4 cups of Brandy. Happy Holidays to You and Yours. :-D

[@rodmund83]

This looks fantastic! We have a lot of good cheap brandys in the UK that I think would go great with this recipe! Merry Christmas Anders and Az and thank you for all the fun, entertainment and great recipes this year ❤

[@MarianLaughlin-y7e]

My mom (Montana) made this in the summer and froze in ice cube trays. When visitors would drop by on a hot afternoon she would pop a couple of cubes into a small glass for each person and serve outdoors at the picnic table.

[@AndersErickson]

Your mom gets major hosting points. Love this

[@pickpocket293]

You and Az make some of the best content on the 'tube. Big kudos and keep up the great work.

[@bobwintjr5511]

Thanks for this. I remember having Brandy Slush while visiting friends in WI many years ago. I'm looking forward to having some this holiday season.

[@mattfinnish]

Love it! Sharing this film with my Mother-in-Law who’s VERY Wisconsin.

[@IronCity_12oz]

Annnd, to the store!

[@cbr8206]

Classic! I was just talking to a family member about how we are looking forward having a brandy slush this week! And, yes...we are in Wisconsin!!! 😊

[@theodorestern8258]

I appreciate how much Wisconsiness there is in this video

[@markcrummett7831]

I love the overhead cam! Happy holidays to you and yours! Thanks for brightening an otherwise lackluster year.

[@DavePruett]

Interesting. I learned to make these is East Tennessee back in the 90s. It was a summer drink. Gotta love how recipes migrate and adapt.

[@X3LAKEBERT]

Yo! Shout out for the fellow Wisconsinites! I remember seeing this a bunch, especially in the kemp gallon ice cream buckets 😂😂

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

Smack dab between Milwaukee and Green Bay it was the Verifine ice cream bucket. Down by the lake, anso!

[@LoriBeehler]

Our Wisconsin Christmas Eve was filled grasshoppers and old fashioneds until my sister in law introduced us to brandy slush! Kept in on the frozen porch since the freezer was full of venison 😊

[@josephdavid3081]

I'm from Minnesota and I can confirm these brandies are important to us too. My grandpa's holiday drink of choice was E&J and soda (which he called "charged water").

[@530mnorman]

I've never heard of this, but it sounds amazing. I've already got all my drinking planned out for this holiday season, but I'm gonna bookmark this for the summer. This will be a hit when it gets hot out too. Great idea!

[@CfPdh9eUnu8JjeZwkAH0a]

Feliz navidad y prospero año nuevo❄❄🎉🎉

[@mell_gif]

Hey Anders, I'll book mark this for summer. Too chilly for me right now. 😂 Happy Christmas to you and Az btw 😊 🎅 🎄

[@AndersErickson]

Completely understand. Cheers and happy Christmas to you!

[@frann.8879]

Hi Anders….a very festive and cool treat!…I like the cranberry/lime variation!..Happy Holidays! and as always “CHEERS!”🤗🤗❤️❤️

[@robfaraco6596]

I love this episode. I reminds me of a person making this drink for his family or work and just saying fuck it, but with cocktail knowledge. Thank you for the warm videos during a lonely time. Happy holiday!

[@emtcubby]

LOL perfect timing. I just made a bucket this morning. One of the best things this time of year.

[@philipbloomquist1580]

In South Dakota during the holidays we did a similar slush with Apricot Brandy, more tea bags, the frozen juice contrate was the same and we used Squirt or Ruby Red Squirt soda.

[@crvanheel2714]

I was just going to call mom to see if she was making this for Christmas!! Growing up in Minnesota, this was definitely the first alcoholic beverage I ever had. Mom and dad would have a pail of this all December long when I was a kid. Love, love, love!!

[@AndersErickson]

Love it. Hope your mom's making it again this year!

[@MM-iu5jp]

Sody pop haha, hadn't heard that in a while. You're the best! Happy Holidays to you and Az!

[@fitzyizgood]

I love this fun lil regional thing! Its so fruity and bright when midwesterners are so bogged down with icy cold everything with overcast skies. Its 100% going to be something I do in the summer on a hot day, but I love how it makes a bunch and probably packs a punch!

[@photografia]

Beautiful!! Happy Holidays!! Love the new angle!! 😂

[@raversmiracle2]

Have a Merry Christmas Anders from Cedarburg Wisconsin.

[@basspraiser6835]

Korbel is the best for old fashioneds and brandy ice!

[@dannylutz194]

This exists all over the midwest. I’ve had it in various forms all over Southern Indiana, Kentucky, Southern Illinois, and Missouri.

[@redlcn]

I grew up with this stuff!!! Memory unlocked!

[@shetuski]

So fun! Thanks for sharing your taste of home. I'm a MN boy but my wife's family all live in Wisconsin and I think they had some of this sitting out last Christmas. :) P.S. Just picked up the ingredients today to make Chocolate Punch from one of your videos. Excited to revisit that one.

[@ejbear8403]

Looks SO Festive! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@mlkollman]

We would do the same thing with gold rum and limeade. Add a few spices and time to enjoy.

[@NeverEmptyBottle]

I’ve had it and it goes well with a little brandy floater!

[@TKID-17105]

This was a staple for the holidays at my grandparents' house. Weirdly enough, I think I'm the only one who still does it at the holidays. The sweetness of the slush really balances wonderfully with the VERY SALTY mid-century snacks/nibblies/dips recipes.

[@LookingBackAdventures]

Christmas is not Christmas in Wisconsin without an ice cream pail of brandy slush and a container of Tom & Jerry mix in your freezer! Happy Holidays from Wisconsin! 🎄

[@icabassfamily]

Happy Holidays! Thanks for all the sips tips and recipes!

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you for being here. Happy holidays!

[@dsrsdr5204]

I can imagine we can make a type of frozen strawberry daiquiri with this recipe. Just simple syrup, rhum instead of brandy, rasberry concentrate and limeonade concentrated. I will try it for Christmas, I keep you in touch

[@kyleanderson3329]

My in-laws make this every year for Christmas for as long as they've been together (about 20 years now). I suspect it's something my MIL brought from her family's Christmas history as my FIL never made it before she was around; we're all natives of northern Pennsylvania, FWIW.

[@schelzel]

And just like that, Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice just went through the roof on the New York Stock Exchange. Looking good, Billy Ray!

[@redoorn]

Feeling good Lewis.

[@schelzel]

@ Cocktails have gotten so expensive. In Philadelphia, it’s worth fifty bucks.

[@steffrenzl8544]

Thanks so much for making me laugh! I needed that. Happy Holidays!!

[@brentdnowicki]

I live in Sonoma County, where Korbel is made, they have a wonderful Cream Sherry, and now have an aged brandy line. Most people around here prefer Korbel as well. I use the XS to make an Improved Whiskey Cocktail.

[@brentdnowicki]

This seems like a wonderful summer treat on a hot day.

[@TonyChD]

Holy crap, brings me back to my childhood... parents always had slush in the freezer. Always made it with squirt instead of lemon-lime soda, though. They had it on Midwest taco nights, and gave me a little glass.

[@Adrenalinepimp]

This is also a popular Christmas time slush in Michigan along side a slow-gin slush.

[@lath0039]

I have really fallen in love with Copper & Kings brandy. I visited the distillery in Louisville this year and it's amazing to see their attention to detail. Definitely going to try this.

[@Mark723]

A couple two-tree...TFF. Happy Holidays!

[@AndersErickson]

Happy holidays!

[@joshgreen2164]

Happy holidays Az & Anders.

[@EmmettDoesStuff_YT]

Also famous in Saskatchewan! A common cocktail at summer bbqs.

[@valu28]

Looks really yummy and funny. I'll have to try it

[@conormurphy4328]

Will definitely be trying to make variations of this for the holidays

[@Dr_Bombay]

I have never heard of this, but it sounds good. Az really sells it.

[@michaelwalsh683]

Oh boy dere! On this channel I discovered the Wisconsin Old Fashioned, and now a new use for Korbel! Couple tree a deese, gonna make da holiday, eh. Says Hey to yer folks den.

[@rachelcunigan6182]

My parents got their Brandy Slush recipe from a church cookbook in California! Recipe is the same except we always used ginger ale instead of Sprite.

[@blind7000]

I kinda want to try an elevated Green Tea shot with this. Real green tea and honey for the syrup, peach juice and lemonde for the juices, Jameson for the booze, and Sprite topper. Then an apple, cranberry, black tea, and bourbon version for Christmas.

[@jalonso3060]

I didn't know you are from Wisconsin originally! Looks like a very fun idea--I'm sure my mom would love this. Happy Holidays from Minnesota!

[@AndersErickson]

Now you have to make it for your mom. Happy holidays!

[@ptrspmpkin]

Fellow Wisconsinite, well, at least for the last 26 years(flatlander transplant).Never had , or heard of brandy slush, but have a healthy level of brandy in our home. My husband loves the swill known as Paul Masson and my step-dad is a J. Bavet man!

[@randyspizman8078]

My mother-in-law used to make daiquiri slushes. If I remember, it was a full bottle of rum, 2 cans of frozen limeade concentrate, 2 cans of frozen lemonade concentrate and 4 cans worth of water.

[@obct537]

Holy hell.....this unlocked a memory that's been buried in my brain since my childhood. Grew up in WI, across the river from the UP. I remember my dad making this at least a dozen times. Occasionally, he'd make it by just leaving it outside....because Wisconsin is a freezer. I distinctly recall his being far browner....I presume it was mainly just brandy

[@rebeccabrown1951]

The plastic no shame large Brandy bottle made me laugh. 🎄🎄 Merry Christmas !

[@Shilman99676]

We always make it with Gin and ginger ale.

[@conifer27]

"you don't need to use this specific brand" but for it to be truly authentic, Korbel really is the way

[@mbatley]

I love that you know the difference between, "Yeah, no" and "No, Yeah." On Wisconsin! (Appleton native here!)

[@edwardkane7708]

Booze with a spoon! Fun fun video. You crack me up. Happy holidays, neighbors!

[@AndersErickson]

Happy holidays to you!

[@catofthenorth64]

Heck yes!

[@natasha5306]

In the Netherlands, you could use 'Vieux' (Dutch brandy), which is inexpensive. I want some slush now :)

[@nicknumber1512]

Loving the Blenheim ginger ale. Did you go by West Lakeview Liquors?

[@victoriamills7369]

As someone who is on the other side of the world, this definitely is going to be added to the summer drink rotation! NZ isn't big on frozen concentrates, though. I'm guessing OJ and good, still, lemonade can be subbed in?

[@migglesenorito]

Lmfao why was Anders so jumpy and aggressive in this video 😂 seems like an awesome guy to be around! Thanks for the recipe, I’m definitely going to be making this during the Summer!! Cheers 🥳

[@streetpi1010]

Made this 2 wks ago for first time. It rocks. I went 3 cups of "Brandy you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl) What a good wife you would be" 🎶🎵 & always think of Marvel GG2.

[@autodidax-b5l]

This would also be a great drink for the 4th of July.😊

[@TripleCrown59]

Going to make this here in Tampa Bay. Go Paayck Go !!!

[@TedTahquechi]

We are so going to have to try this - but which one? Anders, you are always my source for fun Holiday drinks. Your awesome recipes make me look good behind our bar, and that is tough to do!

[@AndersErickson]

You get all the credit for looking good behind the bar, but happy the recipes help. Cheers and happy holidays!

[@kdschill]

"Slush Bucket" is my new Punk Rock Band name.( I like the new spectacles Anders.)

[@KavalanSol]

In my area there isn't any frozen concentrate available, what could I use as a substitute? ❤️🙏

[@AndersErickson]

Can't guarantee the results, but you could try replacing the 2 cans of concentrates and 5 cups of water with 8 cups of fresh juice.

[@bryanschairer4375]

Similar to Newfoundland Slush. Uses vodka in place of brandy and also uses pineapple juice.

[@AndersErickson]

I was unaware of Newfoundland Slush! Like the addition of pineapple juice. Cheers

[@burdend27]

My uncle from Pennsylvania is famous in our family for making this with apricot brandy. Good stuff!!

[@AndersErickson]

Apricot brandy sounds great in this. Cheers

[@bigvig209]

I must try this!!

[@Kayjayoh]

Perfect for this time of year with the Wisconsin "Auxiliary freezer".

[@lStoffyl]

I’m not kidding when my wife and I decided to make brandy slush yesterday and I looked for an Anders video on the subject! Serendipity!

[@AndersErickson]

Get outta here. Really?

[@lStoffyl]

@@AndersErickson Yup! I’ll also take the opportunity to say that I love your stuff as a fellow Gibraltar alumni and you were actually in the class ahead of my brother Eric Christofferson. Small world!

[@AndersErickson]

@@lStoffyl Wow small world indeed! Give my best to Eric and Merry Christmas!

[@lStoffyl]

@ right back at ya!

[@BigHairyCrank]

My mom and her friends would consume large quantities of these during their "Bunko" games. LOL....memory lane.

[@christinagoetsch3547]

Brandy Slush is a permanent resident in my freezer (guess where i live😉) Speaking of which, I think I'll join you...Happy Holidays to da boata use guyes-lol

[@janelacher9234]

We have that in Michigan as well. We call it Rum Slush

[@troym3219]

Microplastics warning. Most of those plastic tubs on Amazon are made from #2 PET, which is not designed to store frozen things, as they impart microplastics in food. Better to use a Pyrex or other glass container. Better for you and the environment.

[@RKramer105]

Dang Anders! Should have released this a week ago so I could have prepped it in time for my Christmas party😂
