Contrary to popular belief, blender drinks are not ideal for large group events. They’re best enjoyed in parties of four or less, so that everyone is served at once, you’re not tied to the blender making batch after batch, and your guests aren’t subjected to constant conversation-stunting noise. This recipe serves 4.
Ingredients
1/2 can frozen limeade
1/4 cup freshly picked mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries and/or blackberries)
8 ounces vodka
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, picked from your backyard or windowbox
2 cups crushed ice
Fresh mint sprigs and lime rounds for garnish
Directions
Add frozen limeade, berries, vodka, mint leaves and crushed ice to blender. Blend until smooth but not liquefied, about 15 seconds with additional 3-5 second pulses if necessary.
Pour into highball glasses and garnish with mint sprigs and lime rounds. Serve poolside or under the pergola.
