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!

Totally delicious, and ever so refreshing – they look and sound amazing!
Having a chuckle though, as across the other side of the world we are freezing tonight with the heating on…so funny to be thinking about cool drinks for summer!
Oh my gosh Alison, yes that would be true. I’ guess we’ll have to whip you up some Hot Chocolate! xoxo
delicious and beautiful!!
Thanks Lindsay!
