Frozen Cranberry Slush - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 qt. cranberry cocktail juice
2 c. sugar
1 c. water
1 tall can frozen orange juice or 2 small cans

Preparation

In a Confederate camp, somewhere in Virginia.
\"The night was excessively cold and we passed the evening in toasting our toes before a roaring fire, talking of home and the dear ones there in anything but a joyous strain.
We had made up our mind to go egg-nogless to bed when, about 11 o'clock, the welcome sound of horses hoofs on the crisp snow outside.
Out we rushed and there we found the tardy Mose with his well-filled demijohn.
The eggs were quickly beaten, the sugar stirred in, the whiskey added, and we had one of the most delicious nogs that ever a mortal man quaffed. Taking a couple of glasses apiece, we retired merrily to bed, to forget the hardships of a soldier's life and dream of a joyful reunion with the dear absent ones so far away.\"
