Pineapple Citrus Slush

So refreshing!

INGREDIENTS⁠ ⁠ For the simple syrup:⁠ ⁠ - 6 cups water⁠ - 3 cups sugar⁠ ⁠ For the slush:⁠ ⁠ - 3/4 cup lemon juice⁠ - 5 tsp gelatin⁠ - 2 qt pineapple juice⁠ - 12 oz lemonade concentrate⁠ - 12 oz orange juice concentrate⁠ - 1 oz almond extract⁠ - 1-gallon water⁠ ⁠ INSTRUCTION

⁠ - In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and gelatin. Stir until smooth and set aside to bloom. During the blooming process, the gelatin will absorb the lemon juice and become thick.⁠ ⁠ - While the gelatin is blooming, in a 4-quart saucepan, combine the 6 cups of water and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once at a simmer, continue to stir until the water is clear and all of the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin dissolves into the hot simple syrup.⁠ ⁠ - Once dissolved, add the mixture to a 12-quart container. Add the pineapple juice, lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrate, and almond extract. Stir to combine, cover, and set in the freezer. Alternatively, the mixture can be poured into various small containers to freeze faster. Every 1 to 2 hours, stir the mixture.⁠ ⁠ - Once the slush is fully frozen (about 8-12 hours), remove from the freezer 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving to thaw slightly. Once the slush is easily broken up with a spoon, serve in glasses and top with lemon-lime soda. ALSO: may add rum, apricot brandy, etc.
