1 c. sugar
4 1/2 c. water
1 can (6 oz.) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed and undiluted
1 c. Amaretto
lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled
maraschino cherries (optional)

Combine sugar and water in a saucepan, stirring well. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Combine sugar mixture, lemonade and Amaretto; stir well and freeze mixture overnight. Break frozen mixture into chunks. Scoop into glasses, filling 1/3 to 1/2 full. Add carbonated beverage; stir until slushy. Top each serving with a cherry, if desired.

Yield: 7 1/2 cups.
