When I was a kid, my dad made brandy slush for him and my mom around Christmas and New Year’s. I fondly remember my father sipping on the icy treat while my brothers and I played next to him in the living room. Now that my dad is gone, I borrowed the recipe from my mom so that I could keep the tradition of making brandy slush during the holidays.
