Good for hotter climate; this Limoncello Raspberry Slushy Cocktail is an excellent mixture that’s certain to refresh.
I admit it; I’ve method too many bottles of grownup drinks on this home. My title is on an inventory and that record finally offers me with numerous samples of booze. Fortunately a mixture of a few them typically leads to a drink pretty much as good as this Limoncello Raspberry Slushy Cocktail.
I like making cocktails and I’m undecided I might do what I like as typically with out the sources made accessible to me however the true fact 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, if you happen to EVER see a submit with Bubblegum Vodka then you already know it’s time to shoot me. I’m kidding. Probably not. 🙂
I’ve been aware of 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 in the case of making a cocktail.
Generally there are days when product and circumstance do come collectively fantastically and lead to a cocktail that I like.
I seldom title my cocktails but when I have 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 like Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka which is distilled in Austin. Not sometimes 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 comprises actual lemon juice and cane sugar.
The addition of lemon is prevalent sufficient you may 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 precise 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 few of the nice bottles accessible at my native liquor retailer. Limoncello Di Capri is a favourite…each in cocktails and as an after dinner sip. Maintain 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 yr.
It’s lastly a bit hotter right here however we’re having a monsoon season; rain virtually every single day. I can’t complain as a result of it’s often so dry right here…and my backyard is joyful!
Having the bottles nestled collectively didn’t strike fairly the chord till my resolution to freeze a handful of raspberries; they have been two days previous 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 have 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 associates was a precedence and taking pictures was not.
My neighbor Amy and her household have 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 acquired away from me. That was a mistake…this needs to be a summer season staple; so easy, so refreshing, and a magnificence in addition!
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 non-obligatory; your style buds may favor much less sweetener). Glowing soda completed all of it off and I had an enthusiastic style tester with Amy; she beloved it too.
True confession? I don’t take a look at and retest cocktails; that might be an excellent excuse for consuming on a regular basis and properly, as you may think about, that could be an issue.
I both like them or I don’t and run with them if I do. I beloved this the primary time round, was simply as happy the opposite day and hope you’ll get pleasure from it too!
Truthfully an ideal heat climate cocktail. I made a decision to whir the ice in my blender to make small pebble ice. It’s not obligatory however it’s a enjoyable addition. I’ll additionally purchase a bag of comparable ice from Sonic if I’m serving a crowd.
Despite the fact that 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!
