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!
