Slush Cubes

It isn't New Years at the Hernandez house unless Chris's mom whips up a batch of these. These are so delicious, and your kids will luv them!!! Enjoy!

4 cups sugar
6 cups water
2 lemons
5 bananas
1 6 oz. can frozen orange juice, mix according to can directions
1 46 oz. can pineapple juice
4 qts. 7-up

Boil water with sugar just until sugar dissolves. Set aside. Mash bananas and lemon juiceand add orange juice and pineapple juice. Add sugar and water mixture. Freeze in ice cube trays (if you are doing a themed party, you could freeze these in shaped trays). When ready to serve, put desired amount of cubes in glass, add 7-up and serve immediately. We serve these with forks so you can crush up the cubes and let the drink get really slushy.

Note: Put cubes out a little earlier before serving, that way they are easy to crush up in glass. Otherwise, we stick our glass cup in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make the cubes a little easier to slush up.
