Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- In a saucepan, bring 4 cups water and 1 cup sugar to a boil. Boil for about 2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and a light syrup forms.

- Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature, then stir in 1 cup bourbon.
Step 2: Freeze and Serve
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until it reaches a firm, scoopable slush consistency.
- When ready to serve, scoop the frozen bourbon slush into a glass until it is about 3/4 full.
- Top off the glass with lemon-lime soda and stir gently to combine before enjoying.
