How to make it
- 1
Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a large pot and boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- 2
Stir in the lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrate, pineapple juice and rum.
- 3
Pour into a large freezer-safe container with a lid and freeze for at least one night, stirring about every 12 hours.
- 4
To serve, scoop about 2 scoops into a glass and top with lemon-lime soda.
- 5
Garnish each glass with a maraschino cherry.
Swap it: Active time is about 30 minutes; the slush needs to freeze overnight or longer. Because of the sugar and alcohol it stays scoopable rather than freezing solid. Alcohol-free version: leave out the rum and add an extra cup of pineapple juice.
