{Sweet Treats} Star Spangled Drinkies

It is 90 degrees here in Chicago today and my mind is definitely on something cool and refreshing.

Since we’re heading into the  holiday weekend,

I thought these beautiful drinks would be fun and festive to serve the adults.

Of course, we want to be patriotic, so how about this RED, WHITE and BLUE TRIO ?

FIRST UP:  How about a Frosty Raspberry-Lime Margarita ?  Yes, yes!

 

Or, maybe a Frozen White Chocolate ?   Did someone say Chocolate?

 

 Or finally, a Blended Blue Hawaiian   Love the blue, so  tranquil.

( which is what I will  be after I drink a few:)

 These ought to quench your thirst and make your guests pretty happy! (and you too!) :)

As pretty as these choices are, maybe you’re thinking a little more dessertie. (is that a word?)

If so, I thought I’d bring back my Blueberry and Strawberry Smoothies.

I served these last year on the 4th of July and they were a huge hit with everyone. Yes, even the kids.

(Straws available in Party Patisserie Shop)

So simple to make:

Strawberry Smoothie:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries (10-oz. package)
  • 3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

For the BlueBerry Smoothie follow the same recipe or leave out the banana. (your preference)

Add a fruit garnish and you’re in a “happy place”.

For shakes, just substitute the yogurt for vanilla ice cream. YUM YUM!!

Hope you enjoyed our Star Spangled Drinkies and will give them a try this weekend.

Have a fun and safe Memorial weekend!
