4 hrsThink of these as the grown-up answer to snow cones.
You simmer a quick simple syrup, stir in frozen lemonade, orange juice, and apricot brandy, then let the freezer do the heavy lifting.
Once solid, scoop them into bite-sized balls with a melon baller and serve straight from the freezer.
They hit your tongue icy-cold, then melt into a sweet citrus-brandy rush that makes you reach for another one immediately.
Kitchen Tips
- Let the sugar syrup cool completely before adding the brandy so you don’t cook off the alcohol
- A melon baller dipped in warm water makes scooping much easier
- These keep in the freezer for up to a month, so make a big batch ahead of time
- For a lighter version, swap in peach schnapps for the apricot brandy
