Uses to use these to make a whiskey slush that would take like 3 days to freeze and during the 4th of July weekend we’d have to protect the freezer from the uncles trying to “grab just a cup” early
You would take this frozen juice concentrate, mix this with copious amounts of whiskey, and then set it in the freezer. Because of the high alcohol content, it would not freeze like regular liquid. This was in anticipation of a family get-together around the 4th of July. Without judicious monitoring, the adult men would drink all of the punch before it was ready to be served.
They used the Minute Maid as a mixer with whiskey, which they would then freeze into a slushy/slurry thing. It would take about 3 days in the freezer to hit its “final form”, so to speak. Very popular at their family’s/neughborhood’s/local 4th of July (U.S. Independence Day) parties.
The beverage was tasty/intoxicating enough that middle-aged male relatives and/or friends would try to sneak “just a cup” (not literally 8 fluid ounces / ~240 mL) before the beverage was made generally available to party-goers, and potentially even prior to the day of the party. This risks not having enough for the party itself, because of selfishness.

… I am confuse.

Clear as mud?
We used to do one can of frozen OJ to one bottle of vodka. I don’t think we ever gave it 3 days to freeze though. It was a pleasant slush.
We called it ‘juice’.
