The Official Carroll County Democratic Party Cookbook- Spiralbound Cookbook #36

The forward to this cookbook, created in 1983, states "The Democratic Party in Carroll County began in the 1870's.  The German immigrants almost to the man turned to the Democratic Party as they viewed the prohibition law as a curtailment of their liberties.  The Democrats then were the minority party."  Can't argue with that!!

Here's the cookbook:

In keeping with the theme of the forward, here's a recipe for BRANDY SLUSHES, attributed to Diane Tracy:

Brandy Slushes

10 c. water
2 c. sugar
4 green tea bags
7-Up, Sprite or ginger ale
12 oz. can frozen lemonade
12 oz. can frozen orange juice
2 c. apricot brandy

In large pan boil 10 cups water and sugar.  Set aside to cool.  In small pan, boil 2 cups water.  Add 4 green tea bags.  Let set for 1/2 hour.  Then remove tea bags and cool.

In large container, mix lemonade, orange juice, and brandy.  Add the first 2 mixtures and freeze for 24 hours.

When serving, fill glass half full of slush and thin with 7-Up, Sprite or ginger ale.

Enjoy!
