Good for hotter climate; this Limoncello Raspberry Slushy Cocktail is a superb mixture that’s certain to refresh.
I admit it; I’ve means too many bottles of grownup drinks on this home. My identify is on an inventory and that record in the end offers me with plenty of samples of booze. Fortunately a mix of a few them typically leads to a drink pretty much as good as this Limoncello Raspberry Slushy Cocktail.
I really like making cocktails and I’m unsure I might do what I really like as typically with out the sources made obtainable to me however the true reality is I might have much more.
If I stated ‘sure’ to each supply I must be constructing a shed out again.
However I don’t; I’m choosy and belief me, in the event you EVER see a publish with Bubblegum Vodka then you understand it’s time to shoot me. I’m kidding. Probably not. 🙂
I’ve been aware about some nice merchandise that I’m sure I’d not have been conscious of in any other case and I’m fortunate to have so many choices relating to making a cocktail.
Generally there are days when product and circumstance do come collectively superbly and end in a cocktail that I really like.
I seldom identify my cocktails but when I had been to be so inclined this must be ‘The Pucker Up.’ It’s lemon, extra lemon, raspberry, after which garnished with extra lemon. Oh boy is it good!
I really like Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka which is distilled in Austin. Not usually a fan of flavored vodkas, this one arrived at my doorstep years in the past and me sufficient to strive it as a result of it’s handcrafted in small batches and accommodates actual lemon juice and cane sugar.
The addition of lemon is prevalent sufficient you’ll be able to even inform by the colour of the product that there’s actual lemon in it.
So my favourite vodka has been dwelling within the freezer ready for the proper second. Good storage place for vodka; it’s like Russia in there!
Saved subsequent to a bottle of Limoncello di Capri I already had readily available in my freezer, the Limoncello Raspberry Slushy Cocktail was apparently meant to be.
I’ve made my very own Limoncello which is enjoyable to do however I additionally love a number of the nice bottles obtainable at my native liquor retailer. Limoncello Di Capri is a favourite…each in cocktails and as an after dinner sip. Preserve it within the freezer so it’s at all times ice chilly…it’s irresistible.
I’ve been ready for Denver to maneuver out of the ice age right into a bit hotter climate earlier than contemplating what sort of a cocktail to make with it this 12 months.
It’s lastly a bit hotter right here however we’re having a monsoon season; rain virtually daily. I can’t complain as a result of it’s normally so dry right here…and my backyard is blissful!
Having the bottles nestled collectively didn’t strike fairly the chord till my determination to freeze a handful of raspberries; they had been two days outdated and on the ‘use them or lose them’ stage so I positioned them individually on a plate and into the freezer they went.
That’s when lightning struck. An unlikely marriage perhaps, this vodka from Texas, Limoncello from Italy and raspberries from California, however all three collectively, proper in entrance of me, it’s as in the event that they had been crying, ‘Choose me, select me!’ and I did!
I first made this Limoncello Raspberry Slushy Cocktail not lengthy after I moved into this home virtually 10 years in the past.
It was a type of moments the place getting along with pals was a precedence and taking images was not.
My neighbor Amy and her household had been coming for dinner; I had promised a cocktail and I knew I might make one for her utilizing Deep Eddy since it’s gluten free.
I imagined making one other one the subsequent day, taking images, and posting this recipe however clearly that received away from me. That was a mistake…this ought to be a summer time staple; so easy, so refreshing, and a magnificence as well!
The cocktail glass is rimmed with my favourite mixture of salt, sugar and citrus, after which the berries (which when frozen break into little tiny balls) are muddled with the vodka, limoncello, and a contact of straightforward syrup (completely optionally available; your style buds may want much less sweetener). Glowing soda completed all of it off and I had an enthusiastic style tester with Amy; she liked it too.
True confession? I don’t take a look at and retest cocktails; that will be an awesome excuse for ingesting on a regular basis and nicely, as you’ll be able to think about, that is perhaps an issue.
I both like them or I don’t and run with them if I do. I liked this the primary time round, was simply as happy the opposite day and hope you’ll get pleasure from it too!
Actually an ideal heat climate cocktail. I made a decision to whir the ice in my blender to make small pebble ice. It’s not vital however it’s a enjoyable addition. I’ll additionally purchase a bag of comparable ice from Sonic if I’m serving a crowd.
Although we’ve had a typical spring in Colorado, wet days and funky nights within the 40s; I’m prepared for spring and extra of those cocktails. Cheers!
