I made this drink for my Bunko night last week and it is seriously so dang delicious. Everyone wanted the recipe. It is very cold and refreshing for those warm summer days. Just trust me on this one and try it!
You will need:
•2 liters Sprite, Sierra Mist, Or 7-up
•2 liters Pink Lemonade
•1 1/2 Quarts Raspberry Sorbet
•6 ounces, weight Fresh Raspberries
•1 whole Lime, Sliced, Optional
Mix the soda and the pink lemonade in a large punch bowl. Drop tablespoonfuls of the raspberry sorbet right on top of the punch. The carbonation will make the sorbet fizz as it melts. Sprinkle the fresh raspberries across the top. You can garnish with lime wedges on the rim of your glass.

Whiskey Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Oh My Heck! These are Soooooooo good! Really, you have got to try these. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, & dinner.
The alcohol cooks out before you even put the sweet potatoes in the pan so don't be worried about feeding them to grandma or kids, it just adds such an amazing flavor.
You will need:
■1 stick of butter, divided
■2 -3 lbs Sweet Potato, cubed
■1/2 cup your favorite Whiskey
■1 cup Brown Sugar
■1 teaspoon salt
■black pepper to taste
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add sweet potatoes to brown just a little, do not stir around. Remove from skillet.
Pour in whiskey and allow to evaporate 30 seconds (WARNING: if you are using a gas stove remove from burner to pour and never pour directly from bottle. Alcohol is very flammable!).
Reduce heat to medium, and add remaining butter. When butter melts, sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Stir together, then add potatoes to skillet. Cover, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
Remove lid and add salt and pepper. Continue cooking until potatoes are done and glaze is thick, about 5 more minutes.
Pour into serving dish and enjoy.
I've found a few similar recipes that use carrots instead of sweet potatoes, so I tried it. It is very good too!!!

Tyrel's Hop, Skip, & Go Naked Slush
This is our favorite party drink! It's one you can furnish for a good sized party (about 20 people) and not go broke. It was introduced to us by one of our favorite people too, our cousin Tyrel. Tyrel loved to make this drink!
You will need:
1 Standard sized cooler/ice chest, washed with soap well
30 cans of cheep beer (we use Natural Light)
1.75 L Rothschild Vodka, Rothschild because that was Tyrel's Vodka
5-7 cans frozen juice concentrate. We mix two, different flavors, one is always some sort of mixed berry
5-10 lbs dry ice, broke into chunks with a hammer or breaking it on concrete should work too. Just be very very careful, dry ice burns!
Empty Vodka, beer, and somewhat thawed juice concentrate into clean cooler and mix together well. Carefully add one our two chunks of Dry Ice, this will eventually create a slushy type drink. Stir often, you will need to add more dry ice to achieve the consistency of the slush and possibly throughout the night to keep it. Never close the lid of the cooler... this will create a bomb.
Now, I am not a beer drinker in fact I hate beer but I love love love this drink, so give it a try. It tastes like juice.
