Pink Lemonade Blueberry Splash

July 5, 2017 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Some of the best tasting recipes are simply made and cocktails are no different.

Made with Bacardi Limon Rum this boozy Pink Lemonade Blueberry Splash cocktail uses fruit that is in season and doesn’t require you to make fresh lemonade. Simply add citrus flavored rum over ice, fill the glass 3/4 of the way full with store bought pink lemonade, top with lemon seltzer water, a squeeze of lemon wedge and stir. I prefer to cut the citrus sour flavor with a teaspoon of sugar or Splenda. Then, garnish with a sprig of mint, a slice of lemon and you’re on your way to happy hour!

Here’s the recipe rundown quick list:

1 travel sized bottle of Bacardi Limon Rum
1 small bottle of store bought pink lemonade
1 can of lemon seltzer water
1 lemon
1 tsp sugar or Splenda
ice
garnishes = sprig of mint, slice of lemon

Don’t forget to add a fancy Nancy straw. Now that’s one pretty drink. Pretty delightful that is…;-) Cheers!

If you’re not interested in adding alcohol and want to drink a poolside mocktail instead, simply add more lemonade or seltzer water in place of the rum.

A big fan of seasonal blueberries? Try my take on a warm Vanilla Blueberry Sauce that goes great over lemon bars or ice cream. Still craving blueberries? Add them to fresh fruit to create a last minute picnic side Watermelon Blueberry Salad with Feta and Mint.

Berry Rum Smash with Lime Cocktail

May 29, 2017 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Determined to create a cocktail that I could use to raise a glass in honor of those who served during Memorial Day, I created Berry Rum Smash with Lime Cocktail, a blender drink topped with carbonated soda. It’s a refreshing drink that is prepared with aged rum, berries, lime juice, and lemon-lime soda.

A liter of Cruzan Aged Rum cost me $14.99, a value!

I love a cocktail that stretches my creativity. This recipe requires you to use a blender to make a smooth juice from fresh blueberries, pitted sweet cherries, lime juice, aged rum (you can use silver rum), the juice of half of a lime, and Stevia for sweetness. After blending the above ingredients on high until the pulp of the fruit is minimal, pour it into a glass filled with crushed ice.

You can find these festive straws and garnish picks for $1 at Target. (not an affiliate)

After pouring the berry mixture into the glass of crushed ice, top the glass with lemon-lime soda water until filled. That’s it! It’s a fruity, cool drink to serve to guests at your next outdoor deck party or just because you want to delight in a new cocktail made from your home bar.

Cheers, my dears!

Watermelon Berry Slushie

August 6, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

We were just at the farmer’s market this morning and the watermelons were HUGE! It’s definitely time you tried by Watermelon Berry Slushie before summer produce is out of season. It couldn’t be simpler to make either especially if you wash your fruit when you purchase it. Then, you can just get up in the morning or come home from the gym and fire up the blender.

Why pay for a blender drink from a smoothie bar when you can make this at home and benefit from having leftover melon in the fridge? If you’re not sure what to do with leftover melon, check out my recipes for Watermelon Blueberry Feta Salad with Mint. It’s gorgeous-looking (great to take to a summer potluck) and it’s easy on the waistline.

This cold slushie includes tastes of the season with ripe watermelon and berries. It's like a hug in a glass. — This cold slushie includes tastes of the season with ripe watermelon and berries. It’s like a hug in a glass.
